Tubes are the economical way to fill a long border. The potted packs are a better choice if you want flowers sooner. Plants travel upright and take a couple of weeks to settle before pushing out new growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
