Gardening Direct is the perfect budget-friendly choice for anyone looking to add more plants to their garden and home. Since launching in 1996, Garden Direct has become one of the biggest sellers of live plants in the UK, including a huge selection of plant plugs. Choose from a selection of greenhouse quality bedding plants, bulbs, shrubs and indoor plants to add more colour to your garden, balcony and interior.

The experienced gardeners among us may be aware of plug plants, but if you've only just started to get your green fingers, you're in for a treat. Plug plants are one the easiest, most cost-effective ways to quickly introduce a wide variety of plants to your outdoor space, quickly. Plug plants are essentially small plants grown from seedling and are ready to plant, but as they are small they are easy to post and are generally cheaper than buying full-sized plants. All you have to do is grow them on, plant them out and keep the slugs away.
