Edit Reason: speling; plug varieties
)
My seeds were:
Musk mallow "Snow White"
Zinnia "Funfair Mix"
French Lavender
Sweet pea "Antique Fantasy Mixed"
Pepper Boneta
They are the tiniest plug plants possible, aren't they!
Echinacea Nectar Pink
Coreopsis Golden Joy
Doronicum Little Leo
Salvia Salvatore Deep Blue

Any plant that's small enough to go through the letterbox is too small to leave its mother.

Salvia Salvatore Deep Blue They certainly are tiny!
Oh well - ever the optimist.
What a waiting game this has been - waiting for them to arrive - and an even longer wait for them to flower.

Yes, I naively assumed that the "special offer" was because they had surplus unsold plants they wanted to shift. But in fact these plugs have been grown to order, perhaps from seeds left over from packeting up.
Still, most of them came through the post OK and I've now put them into a 24-cell module tray in the cold frame to grow on. Just a couple of Doronicums might not make it.
While I'm having a moan, I wish suppliers would put the species name on as well as the varietal one. It gives us growers a better handle on how to treat them. I think mine are Salvia nemorosa, Echinacea purpurea, Doronicum caucasicum and Coreopsis grandiflora. Time will tell!

I can't get that link to work  I can see a flash sale at the bottom of the page, with the six veggies that are free, but no matter what I add to my basket, they're not free. I might be doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out lol
