The bottom one looks like either some form of mint or lemon balm, both of which are useful, edible and smell nice, but also can be rampant. The others can probably be hoed off. Rake in some general fertiliser (or don't bother) and get your plants in!
Hi Jo and welcome. Your 'plug' plants look great, I got some from GW and they have grown a lot and I'm expecting some more soon too. Like you, I was new to it and there is another thread somewhere that I started with some good advice on, although it did get a little conflicting and confusing.
However, they should be fine in pots but if you are keeping them in pots they will need to go in bigger ones, I have just moved some of mine into borders last week and the rest into 1 litre pots.....I'm doing a bit of an experiment to see which ones do best I've found Geums in particular grow very quickly and are very pretty, they are one of my new favourite plants now since discovering them
Mine are all outside and have been since risk of frost had gone, they were only in the GH because they were so tiny.
Get them outside now electricjo, in a semi shaded position, give it 2 weeks they will be twice as big by then and then give them a weak feed every 2 weeks. Compost will only support a new plant for about a month, by then they have used up any added nutrients. You'll need to repot to a 9cm pot to carry them through till planting out. Best time to plant all of them is September in their flowering position. By that time they will have a good strong root system and next year you'll have a good show. I wouldn't let them flower this year, cut off any flowering stems, it may seem harsh, but the root system will be better for it. When planting in September add Fish blood and bone to the planting hole. Be patient with them, it's worth the wait.
left to right in 2nd pic of you plugs are as follows
pot 1&2,3 &11 geums:
,4,5, 10.14 echinacea
12&13 aquilegia
6&9 carnation
1st photo of plugs
top left coreopsis
bottom right dephinium
the one in the very centre of round tray is Chrysanthemum white knight
i think the two in the square pot are scabiosa blue jeans
now i have named some of them you can compare leaves of your others and group them together and label them the rest you may be able to identify by process of illimination once you have the ones you know the name of out of the way. I can't see digitalis in the photos but they have big unglossy veiny leaves with like a crimped edge to them.
Ive just noticed this is an old post. If anyone is still about to identify a few of my perrinals, I will post a picture.
I love plants from T&M but I find their labelling challenging and most unhelpful as you don't see label info till you have moved all plugs from spaces, so hence got a bit mixed up. It isn't a great problem until you come to planting and want to get them all in height order in their final locations. Any help would be greatfully received. But not sure if anyone reading this thread now but maybe it will alert people that a new posting has been made.

Just found this thread and like me ElectricJo I started as a clueless gardener and it wasn't until I started buying plants and trying to grow them that I started educating myself...I still have huge amounts to learn but i'm enjoying learning.
I find T&M's labelling a bit of an issue as well Rose Tree cottage but most plants I get from them are good. My only beef with them is that sometimes they don't send plants out until Friday on a 2 day service so that means they spend a whole weekend plus a Monday without any water.
I've been getting the special offers from T&M for my raised flower bed & wildlife pond project and it is certainly an inexpensive way of getting lots of plants. I tend to find the best way of sorting the plug plants out when they arrive is to take each type in turn....triple check thinks and do all that without any interuptions from anyone

Okay, bekkie.Thanks.

Hi, how's the border doing? I've bought a similar deal and wondering about the outcome.
