Title: Pansy/viola plug plants
Post by: robinaber on July 11, 2010, 12:15:43
Does anyone know the best place to buy these plug plants? I'm thinking of buying them to grow on to sell at a charity shop later this year.

I'm not sure of the best place, but I have been disappointed buying plug plants mail order before - they were actually seedlings, not what I would call plug plants at all. But then they were extremely cheap.

Maybe that would be okay for you - if you're willing to grow them on and keep potting them on.

It was one of those many 4 billion plug plants for £10 offers you see all the time.

I haven't bought pansies from Jersey Plants but the geraniums and begonias I bought earlier this year are fantastic.  Tiny little plug plants but well-rooted and once potted on just grow and grow. 

I might have to order some pansies now they've been mentioned....... ;)
