About Plugs & Liners

Save production time and cost with Harris Seeds Plug and Liner Program!

Harris Seeds’ comprehensive plug & liner program is the perfect complement to your seed produced product line. Plugs & liners can round out your product selection and potentially save you space, time, and cost during your production
season.

We partner with the country’s leading plug & liner grower specialists to provide you the highest quality young plants. Grown to order, choose from thousands of annual and perennial varieties for bedding plant, container and cut flower sales.

What can plugs & liners do for you?

Reduce energy and labor costs. Receive young plants in the spring, and reduce heating and labor costs associated with winter greenhouse production.

Ensure your products. Rely on our plug & liner grower specialists to prepare your plants when you aren’t readily equipped to sow your own seeds. Our growers specialize in pinching, applying growth regulators, fertilizing, and implementing IPM practices when taking care of your plants.

Increase variety selection. Some species and varieties, like Supertunia® petunias, SunPatiens® impatiens, garden mums, and poinsettias can only be grown reliably from cuttings. Order these as rooted liners to supplement your seed-grown products.

Quick turnaround time. Some trays, such as Supernova® trays, have been crafted to produce a salable plant in a 4-6" container in four to six weeks. Quick turnaround time means quick cash for you in the spring!

Consider these factors when choosing a plug & liner grower specialist.
