Plug plants are plants grown from seed in compost, in very small containers, making them easy to lift out and plant. Ideally, plug plants should be put into larger pots and grown on, giving them time to become hardened before planting out.

Plug plants are very useful for anyone who doesn't have the time or the facilities to raise their own plants from seed. They virtually guarantee good results making them very cost effective.

Plug plants can be used for filling gaps in borders and are also ideal for use in hanging baskets. There are wide range of plug plants available, not only flowers, but also vegetable plug plants as you will see above.
