Quickly thomson/morgan are ofering 72 free perinals for £4 99p postage just sent for mine hurry offer end the 8th of this month GET A MOVE ON :icon_cheers:
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.
well finger crossed they are OK when they arrive ,I'll pot them up like squash 64 even if i lost a few i won't cry as the price of the in the garden center a awful I'll take a chance :blob7:
:-( I have no order code!
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!

Do you think I should leave them in the (unheated) greenhouse over the winter?
I would, I'll be putting mine in the polytunnel.
