    Hello

    For the past few years I've purchased pelargonium plugs from Jersey Plants, 170 plugs for £19 this year, the price ups a bit each year but its still better value than the competition. However they always sell the same ones and i fancy a change.
    Does anyone know of a supplier thats selling a different type of pelargonium plug that is of a reasonable price.
    Or failing that a supplier of pelargonium seeds, about a hundred, and a nice mix.

    Or maybe its about time i tried something different

    I never buy plugs myself.

    But have you tried a search on google?

    Look at Parkers, they do plugs as well. Not sure whether they are different but do smaller number in trays although p+p is £3.99

    Hi Graham , that is a lot of geraniums ! I presume you like them .:snork:

    Vernons , below specialize in Geraniums , and they have more varieties than you can shake a stick at. I have bought from them before with no problems.

    A few of us use Brookside . I only buy a handful of plugs and have been very pleased on quality and delivery.

    You can grow geraniums from seed . I have never grown from seed and I don't know anybody who has . I think most buy plugs or plants from your local nursery.
    Might be worth looking at other plug plants as well if you fancy a change !

      Umm seems notifications are not arriving, i shall investigate.

      Thanks for the replys and suggestions. Thinking about it I've probably gone overboard a bit with the number of pelargoniums I've been sticking in the last few years, especially as i give a good portion of what i pot on away to friends.
      Think I'll just buy a small tray of plugs from the supermarket this year and try something different.
      Something different (dam that BBC great British garden revival)
      Going to try a selection of Regal pelargoniums from Plug Plants 4u
      i had a small collection a few years ago think I'll try again
      Quite fancy the Scented Geraniums but their not ready yet

      Spring is obviously on its way the 'Plant' radar is perking up
