David Richards

I have taken delivery of perrenial jumbo plugs.

rudbeckia,hollyhocks,lupis,grasses.

Can I put them out now??.or wait.

Instruction on leaflet not clear.

I always grow plugs on for a bit before planting out but others might do something different. For me the plants I plant out need to be a decent size with a good root system otherwise they get swamped.

Thank you,so are you saying I should re pot on,and leave in greenhouse?

They are only babies.

Hi Christopher2, No they are not in pots.

David -as you seen so unsure of what to do-did you read the other discussion in the link?-just put them in pots and over-winter in the greenhouse-they are too small to plant out in he garden,

Did anyone read the article on autumn planting in the RHS magazine? Not specifically about plug plants, I know, but my dad always taught me that you plant perennials in autumn.

You do plant perennials in the autumn, but not plug plants until they have grown on a bit.
