    But geranium and busy lizzie aren't hardy perennials - they need quite a bit more tlc, particularly this cold spring.

    Lazy G, please put your muzzle on; this is the second time this evening that you have been rude to me on a post. What is your problem?

  • well thank you for your help everyone so freindly aswell image i think i will plant out half and pot half on and see which works best but more have recently wilted and gave i am not impressed by van meuwen and should have listened to the reviews but who could resist 72 plugs for 9.99 it did seem too good to be true as was told they would be between 8 and 9 cm including rootball they are more like 3.. but i have complained and they are sending through another load for free so we will see how that goes but wont be using them again.. can anyone recommened a good place to buy some perenial plug plants at an affordable price as i have now got my 1st baby daughter and as u can imagine money is tight at the moment lol.. but thank you again everyone i have joined many forums before but none as freindly s here and very helpful image

    well done u for getting some more free...I did`nt think of that but like u I had wilting etc so lost afew.. car boots are at times good for cheaper plants..

    yes this is a great site for advice & chats.. happy planting..image

  • I think i agree with Fairy Girl in that if you grow them on for a couple of weeks it will help the root system to establish a little better and after all you won't lose much for the sake of a couple of weeks.

  • Darren,i have just bought some perenial plug plants from J Parkers for £4-99 for there perenial collection in which you get 2 of each of 6 varieties and although it is pot luck with what you get they are decent sized plugs and seem in decent condition.I  got  delphiniums,campanula Carpatica,Trifolium amongst others so it is worth checking out J parkers website.

  • ok great well thank you for that i will check that out and see what bargains i can grab will let you know how that goes image
