I took advantage of a similar offer this time last year and nothing survived. Plants in very poor condition on arrival and even lots of tlc couldn,t help them.

I had this offer earlier this year, but I think it was only 36 plants then.

The plants were small when they arrived but they were in good condition. I potted them on and have left them in the greenhouse.

I'll take a photo of them tomorrow when I go over to the allotments so you can see how well they are doing now. 

donnythistle - I don't know if the time of year has anything to do with them not surviving, I think mine were delivered in June/July.

I wanted a couple of things but hate the postage, this worked out ok, depending on which way you look at it, either 72 free perennial plants with my order or they cost £4.99 and the postage was free with my order!

If I had thinned my lavender more I would have got the 72

So that plus £5 voucher I am very pleased!

OK it is a bit late for the wall flower, in fact I had planned on planting out my own plants tomorrow!
