  • 540 plug plants cheap, but no labels

    Succumbed to this offer last week:
    Extra Value Bedding Plants - Collection - Blooming Great Savings You Can Bank On - Reader Offers - Suttons Seeds and Plants

    Received these today in the post:


    and



    Can you peeps identify what plants they are please?

    The blurb said at least 9 varieties from the following selection:
    •Begonia Ambassador Mix - Unlike President, Ambassador produces plants which all have rich green foliage. Very striking! Height 20cm (8").
    •Begonia President Mix - A good range of flower colours, some plants having fresh green leaves and others boasting deep bronze leaves. Height 20cm (8").
    •Cineraria Silverdust - A popular foliage item that is compact and uniform in growth, and makes the perfect foil for strong or pastel colours. Height 15-20cm (6-8").
    •Gazania Daybreak Mix - Large blooms, in a range of bright shades, are held on sturdy stems above glossy green foliage. Height 25-30cm (10-12").
    •Impatiens Select Mix - A large-flowered mixture which grows vigorously, comes into flower quickly and blooms profusely in sun or shade. Height 20cm (8").
    •Lobelia Cascade Mix - A free-flowering mixture, for baskets, containers or even as groundcover. Note that each plug contains approximately 3-4 seedlings. Trailing.
    •Antirrhinum F1 Kim Mix - An excellent dwarf, compact, well branching habit with blooms in a dazzling array of colours. Height 25cm (10").
    •Salvia Firecracker - This early flowering variety produces densely packed flower spikes, and deep green foliage. Height 25cm (10").
    •Petunia F1 Select Mix - A weather-resistant multiflora variety, in a wide range of colours producing a carpet of flowers. Height 23-30cm (9-12").
    •Petunia F1 Duo Double Mix - Carnation-like double blooms up to 13cm (5") across, that stand up well to inclement weather. Height 30cm (12").
    •Nicotiana F1 Perfume Mix - A bedding nicotiana with a full colour range and beautiful scent, that will bloom for months. Height 35-40cm (14-16").
    •Stock Sugar & Spice - A first-class bedding stock. Good proportion of double flowers. Delicious sweet fragrance. Height 20-25cm (8-10").

    Welcome to the Plug Nutters Club, Pete http://www.growfruitandveg.co.uk/gra...tml?highlight=
    I was very tempted by that offer but didn't realise they'd be anonymous plugs! is there a sticker on the trays somewhere?

    Picture 1 Bottom row L-R 2 trays of begonias.

    Not really sure about the others but don't think you have cineraria.
    Not much help

      None whatsoever, nor any contents list.

        How odd! It even says in the offer that they'll be individually labelled
        In the 2nd photo I think the long straggly leaves may be gazania and the top right little ones could be lobelia.

          Top picture top left - petunias. I was going to say verbena for top right but they're not on your list!
          Agree with two lots of begonias for bottom row then antirrhinum.
          Bottom picture
          Top row - left nicotiana, right lobelia
          Bottom row - left gazania, ? Then petunias then ?

          Hope that helps!

                I am surprised that offer wasn't taken up by one of the Grapes, if I remember someone was talking about planting a long border, so that offer would be ideal, I will scratch about to find out who it was.
                it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

                  I believe that particular grape wanted summat a bit taller and perennial. I could be mistaken of course
