Greenhouse Plugs are a good choice to plant in shallow soil areas, in areas with low competition, and for under planting.

These seedlings have been grown as self-contained plugs, which are air pruned, resulting in a larger amount of root hair development. This translates into quick establishment and growth when planted.

Seasonally available (please inquire), extending the planting season, and enabling fall planting.
