What does this mean?

Sorry to be so thick but what exactly does 6 premium plugs (30 plants) mean? They're sweet pea bounce. Are they 6 plants or 30 plants and how far apart do I plant each plug or plant?

Yes they will be multi sown plugs, several seedlings in each plug.
For Sweetpeas you can sow a few seeds in one pot to get a thicket of them to grow, so it sounds like that is what they are selling. Given that there is 5 plants in each plug (to get 30 plants) I would guess 30-40cm distance between plugs. Train them up a post.
Thanks so much Edd, Mark and Blairs. I guess this is where practical gardening experience always beats book/internet research. I'll get there
These sweet peas only grow about 10" high so I'm hoping they'll make a lovely scented display on the verandah outside our side door in big deep planter troughs.
Do be aware of the size of the plugs - they're often much smaller than you might imagine if you're new to this type of shopping! Details will be given somewhere in the small print on the catalogue/website.
If you're expecting to get them now/soon, then you might want to pot-up each plug into a bigger pot-size fairly soon, so that the plants can get good & sturdy before you plant them into your ornamental trough outside.
