It sounds intriguing.How would they run a business if everything was free.Can only think they bump up the postage.Will go and have a look in a mo :)

Just checked it out, maximum order is 3 plants, then you pay £5.95 for postage and packing.
However, are they cuttings or actual plants, it doesnt really say :)  Also they are shipping from Holland, I think its worth a go though :D

Next year I'm doing seeds for free. You can order any 3 packets of seeds and only pay the postage and packing charges of £28. You will be able to order as many times as you like to the same address. In fact, I'll even let you order next year's now at the 2008 price.

An update: I received my plants on Saturday, only three days after I placed my order. All three plants are a decent pot size, not just a seedling or a cutting, but an actual plant, so I was impressed with that. The only thing is they came in a small box, and one of them had a few broken stems (the other two were perfect, though). So overall, I would definitely recommend it.  ;D

Sorry, I didnt say, lol! I got two types of ceanothus, and another one, which name I can't remember (I just went for the pretty picture!). The only thing I didn't quite like about plants4free is that the plants are not labelled so I could only guess what was what...
