Mail Order Pansies?

I need more ground cover for winter so was wondering if it's more cost effective to buy pansies from a mail order company or my local garden centre? Any recommendations of companies to get them from?

 

I'll have a look for you while I'm out then check my catalogue collection when I get back in and report to you

 

Thanks very much - I can't remember what I paid for the first batch at my local garden centre

 

I would suggest using a garden centre for that ... you'll be able to see what you are getting.

 

Two local places sell them at 9 for £1.50 or 3 packs for £4
My carden centre sells tham at 12 for £2.50 and no offer
Than we have suttons then your into the miniplants.....130...£11.95
easiplants.....20...£6.95....60....£9.95
garden ready plants......30....£12.95

Although I think it's too late for the catalogue orders for this year.

I hope this helps, would have posted earlier but was fitting a fire surround

 

Local places = 17p each
Garden Centre = 21p each
Suttons (garden ready) = 43p each

Your local place wins. Though probably not local to me.... If I want some more then I'll pop down my garden centre(s)

 

The mini and easi plants don't take alot of effort to get them a bit bigger and are good value and will be my chioce for next year

 

Saw some at my local fruit shop - 99p for 6 so I got a tenners worth and may go back for more if I run out...

 

I am very happy with my quality pansy plugs fromJersey online

 

I must admit, all that I have had, from Jersey online have been very good and reasonable

 

I have to agree totally with you Nathan I am growing trial plants for Jersey Plants be a good test with our cold climate.
