Great photo Kate1123 - mine arrived today and I think the photo illustrates exactly what has been said by so many - they are tiny plugs !!
Plenty of root and leaf growth nonetheless, but I don't think they will be able to be planted out this year. I've potted mine into larger modules and hope they will grow sufficiently to be able to be 'potted on' a couple more times before winter sets in !!
I received mine today and plan to get them all potted on tomorrow and bring them on in pots until theyre big enough to plant out. Nice healthy little plants. However in the meantime my Sedum and Agapanthus ive been waiting to plant out will be planted out tomorrow
I received mine yesterday. I am just a beginner at gardening so do I need to pot them on in bigger pots? If I cant get them planted out this year how can I store them over winter I only have plastic green house's and a cold frame.
You will need to grow them on for a few months at least-they should over winter in the cold frame or greenhouse ok- if you give them so protection if the weather gets really bad.
They may be big enough to plant out in the autumn-time will tell
I experienced the same as most, I could not believe my eyes when they arrived. I complained to T&M to cancel the order, they refunded my money and said that they would send them - as they did. They were very small but after potting on, they are all coming along very well.
I also ordered the black perennials collection which after a two month delay arrived (after constant emailing) only to not be the black collection because 6 out of the 9 plants were substitutes. I did get £10 in vouchers for the inconvenience.
All in all - I'm not over the moon with T&M and would hastedly use them again
It took time for the perennial collection to come, however I stuck with them and ordered the salvias and penstemon they arrived very quickly and healthy plants, so just putting the perennials down as a one off.

Miss.Understood, mine arrived today, I have taken a photo, I do not think you will be planting these out directly into the garden.

@fotofit I agree they look strong just not garden ready.
