Do you know how they've been grown?, if they've been outside you can probably plant them
If they're really tiny I'd pot them up and put them in a sheltered place outside. I wouldn't have them indoors, you're more likely to lose them like that.
Nothing wrong with buying plugs ffb, it gets you a season ahead
I think if the roots have filled the pots plant them. If they haven't, keep them somewhere sheltered outside. Right up against the house is good. I've kept things through the winter like that when those in the cold GH ahve died

It's a shame the corn cockles don't show up in this photo - they were lovely,
but were a bit overwhelmed by the corn marigolds, so I think I will plant
those on the outer edges of my garden instead of mixing them in with the
marigolds and then they should thrive better and their lovely flowes won't
be hidden so much. Hopefully Nutcutlet we should both have more success
with our wildflowers next year! Oops! Nearly forgot! I've just PMd you again!
I certainly hope so flowers. Maybe I'll grow more of the plantsaround the garden and stop struggling with so much 'hay-meadow' growing.
I'm going to PM you a photo

Nutcutlet - I need your help please! I have just taken delivery of 24 wild primrose
plugs and 24 wild cowslip plugs from Unwins. They came beautifully packaged
and would have been in perfect condition if the Royal Mail had kept them the
right way up as instructed. Anyway - I've sorted them out (the poor things were
roots up) but now I'm wondering whether I should keep them on my window-
ledges as I don't have a greenhouse and keep re-potting them as they grow
bigger or should I plant them now - straight into my wildflower garden? Your
much appreciated advice would be very welcome Nutcutlet and by the way
I PMd you a couple of days ago to say thanks very much for the peony tree
seeds. Best wishes, FFB
I apologise for having cheated and bought plugs, but as you know, most of
my seed sowing was a disaster last year, so I've resorted to plugs this year
in the hope that I'll be able to harvest seeds from them next year. By the
way I've PMd you to thank you for the peony tree seeds Nutcutlet!
OOPS! Don't know what happened above Nutcutlet - I thought that last
paragraph had disappeared and now it's reappeared again!!
Hi ffb

Thanks Nutcutlet - if I can find my camara I'll send you a photo of them to
see what stage you think they might be at! Keep an eye out for my next post on
this subject asI haven't seen my camara for a while!!
Here we go Nutcutlet - What d'you think?

Thanks Nutcutlet - I'll put them up against the house. I have lots of wild violets
there which have done really well. The only thing is, the corner I'm thinking of
planting them in doesn't get any sun in the winter - would this matter?
