They're Petunia Summer Classic, I ordered 60 medium plugs to go into flower pouches which hang on a timber framework I built at the front of the house.
The unsightly council bins sit behind the frame, so you can't see them from the street! Flower pouches up the sides and across the top, and a Jasmine growing up some trellis in the middle.
It looks nice when the summer weather is kind, but didn't really reach its full potential last year, with all the rain and all.

Fingers crossed for this year!
That sounds really lovely Terry As Verdun says they will soon catch up - lets hope they send them well packed next time
I used to use Gardening Direct, but last year I received damaged plants and very late arrivals, so this year I thought that I would try the Canny Gardener. I am now on the third delivery of a £50+ order. I have been impressed by the packaging. The polystyrene box they arrived in was well secured, the plants had not dried out, and had not become dislodged. On the box are details of my next deliveries with the date that they will be despatched. The order came to over £30 so delivery was free. So far I am v.ery happy with this company. I wasn't aware that Mr. Milne was an ex Gardening Direct employee, but other than his spelling mistake on this forum (re the web link) I have no problems with that. In case you are wondering no I am not employeed by the Canny Gardener and these are genuine comments
