I agree with potting them up BUT I would also complain to T&M that they were not fit for the purpose that they were supplied for.....even if they were very cheap. And I don't suppose a comment to GW would go unnoticed either. There are many complaints about the quality of T&M plants here and elsewhere.
Based in Sussex, I garden to encourage as many birds to my garden as possible.
Mine looked pretty sad and yellowed as well but I've potted them up and will hope for the best. They're supposed to be "garden ready" but wouldn't have stood a chance if planted out directly!
Same thing happened with the Geraniums (Pelargoniums) they sent me . I am awaiting a reply but it is already 4 days since i emailed them . My plants seemed to spend 6 days in the post !
I potted mine up tonight. Unfortunately I misjudged how "efficient" T&M would be and on arriving in Crete for a week got the dispatch notification. So they were on the doorstep for 5 days, not holding out much hope!! Can't really blame T&M though.

That's a shame
As well as contacting T&M you could contact the GW team at [email protected]
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
If they have roots they'll grow. Pot them up and wait a while.
I would certainly have a go at potting them up before composting !

I got the 48 free lavenders T&M GW offer last year, just paid the £6 postage.
Wouldnt bother again, I've never seen such small plants, each were the size of my fingernail, so I expect to have usable plants in about 5 years time
