Hello I have been looking at plant website well known

Mid Glamorgan, Wales

Hello I have been looking at a plant website well known ( dont know if I can say the name on here ) and thought of buying a collection of 3 Buddleja "Buzz" and a Lavatera BarnselyBaby they say they are Jumbo Plugs so will they grow and flower this year what size is a jumbo plug ! I usually just go to a garden centre for plants but thought I would try online ordering any thoughts ?

the jumbo plugs are about 2" wide if you are lucky. You may get the Jazz to flower if you are lucky. Personally I havent had much success with them and probably not worth the money. but that is my opinion and others may have had better luck.

Might be better to grow them on in 8" pots for a year before planting outside.

If your well known website is T & M all I am going to say is buyer beware!

You have bought what are known as 'Liners', small rooted cuttings which are sold to nurseries by specialist growers and grown-on to be sold to the retail market. Take Diane's advice and pot-on for a year and plant out when fully rooted. Unless you are going to buy many plants of the same variety, you will be better-off buying mature plants from a good garden centre.

Moongrower, you beat me to it! I have vowed never to buy seeds or plants off T&M ever again.
