crocus for plug plants?
Hi, I am fairly new to gardening. Over the last few years I have bought my bedding/ container plants from local garden centers, I am now looking at buying them online. Has anyone used crocus? Also if I buy plug plants can I plant them straight into pots when the weather is warmer?

Crocus plugs are usually ok. The best thing to do with plugs is to plant them into small pots using multi-purpose compost as soon as they arrive - I usually use 7cm square ones from Wilko. It's important not to leave them as plugs for any length of time as they have been grown in special conditions and won't survive long if not given some TLC. Grow them in the small pots for at least a couple of weeks before finally planting out into their final pots or containers etc.
