    Mine came yesterday too. I had some last year, potted them on into quite small pots and then when they'd grown on a bit planted them into a lavender hedge along the path to front door. They've grown on really fast and are covered in flowers now! So you will likely get flowers next year from them. In fact I should get out and dead head them and hope for a second flush of flowers later.

    I havent had mine yet (to be honest i had forgotten until i stumbled on thsi thread, lol)

    Once you understand how T&M work you can get some good deals from them. Don't buy plants thinking you will fill your garden with flowers ect the first year because the majority of the time they turn up as small plug plants, i learnt the hardway but now i use T&M for the special offers like this lavender promotion. I know they will be tiny plugs but for the sake of £5 P&P and a bit of TLC they are a bargain :T

    I brought the x3 dwarf buddlia plug plants for 1p + P&P at the begining of the year expecting them to take a year to produce flowers ... Well no chance, a few months on and they are dripping with flowers and looking beautiful.

    So i will only buy from T&M when they are doing dirt cheap deals, otherwise i think they are too expensive for what you get!

    I didn't get any letters or anything from them. mine turned up while I was on holiday a couple of weeks ago and after sitting in the Post Office for a week only about a third have survived. I'm waiting to see how many more make it!

    I got mine, potted them up and they are growing nicely. I have given a few away to friends. I think the free 'just pay postage' giveaways in that monthly gardening mag are excellent. I always send off for them. Never had a duff plant yet. Even the 'stick' I received in the post has grown into a pretty acer in just a few months.

  • I got a similar offer from T&M for lavendar and the plugs are lovely. Still very small however growing nicely so I should get some lovely plants next year. Gorgeous.
