I saw a member of staff I Sainsburys putting dying plants out for sale. I don't know if they arrived in that state of were left in the stock room. What a waste!
Our Lidl has been demolished and rebuilding won't be finished until next May. There's an Aldi nearby. I know they sell pretty much identical food but the middle stuff and plants are always better in Lidl. The ones outside even used to get watered sometimes but maybe that was the rain.
Can anyone remember when Lidl has grasses? I feel like I bought some last year around this time but may be mistaken.
Now! £5-ish for 1.5 litre-ish plant, or a nice big one for £8. They had 4 or 5 different varieties including Hamelin.
My memory is not as bad as I thought then! However, OH has just passed there and reported no grasses in our local, so not sure whether they've gone or yet to come. Aldi is a bit more of a trek ...

My LIDL has grasses there now for sale. I've just stocked up on my new Spring bulbs, tulips in the most amazing shades of Orange. Had to buy two bags of them, so 60 bulbs to get into the ground later this month, Synaeda Orange, Appledoorns Elite, Veronique Sanson etc, very exciting as I don't usually go for the Orange colours,
Good thread! I went cheap with some Asda plants earlier in the year, 3 for £5 on 1 litre perennials. Over the moon with how they've turned out, would have cost a fortune from a garden centre.
@Johnjoe My mother in law had Red Apeldoorn tulips in her Oxfordshire garden for years. So many tulips are not worth while year two but the Apeldoorn tulips are an exception.
@Dirty Harry I moved house in July, now near an Aldi and a Lidl looking forward to some plant bargains. Your plants have done well for their first year. ASDA is more of a distance but I do know that you can find a bargain if you get their not too long after delivery.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.
