DON'T !
I've just compared their prices and they're SHOCKING.
A heuchera plug for £10.95 it has 10cm of foliage ...... that's very very bad value for money, Doddy.
If you're looking for some good online nurseries to buy from have a look at a blog i wrote a few months ago on that very topic.
I buy perennials online but shrubs i'd always get 'in person', so i think you're right to wait until you can get to a garden centre or nursery in person.

I've just looked again .... a plug clematis with about 10cm of foliage .... £9.95. (for a pack of 5 tiny plants)
Good god, you can buy a 4' high one with at least one stem for about £13 in a garden centre (prune this properly in spring and it'll send up 2 or more new stems)

it does pay to shop about
i know i paid about £8 for my clematis and that was from a local garden nursery.
I know it was only 2 foot high when i bought it but at least it looked a good plant.
Ive planted it and it has not died yet and its been in the ground about 4 weeks
