Bargain time of year!
could not resist this hydrangea from wyevale, reduced from thirty pounds to ten!
just waiting for OH to make me a new bed for it and I have been trying to source plants to go with it whilst I wait! Hmmmm turning out to be an expensive bargain! 
Has anyone else any good ones to share?

Astrantia £2.50 from Logan botanical garden, Scotland. A lovely bargain holiday souvenir
Oooooh astrantia! My faves
which one was it?
Oh Verdun I don't over look my local nurseries, it's only three min walk from me now
and when I moved back in January I brought over forty pots of divisions and didn't lose one! Amazing 
my astrantias especially are bulking up lovely, can't wait till next year! 
Not sure as flower heads had gone to seed and it had a label on the pot and one tied to the plant stalk, both different colours one being a white one a red??
If it comesthroughroll on next summer
The nursery I go to has many hydrangea varieties no dearer than £6 or £7 BM. In 2 litre pots so possibly slightly smaller than your purchase - but in a year they'll be twice the size. I find the prices in GCs quite horrific - or is that just me?
10% off in September so I may have to have a visit - not been for ages. I've been very restrained
Best recent bargain was my new lawn - a bit of grafting and £7 for the seed
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Luckily garden on heavy clay soil verdun an impulse buy that for once will fit in perfectly, usually some of my impulsive purchases haven't been well thought out and I often have plants laid about in pots with no area to plant them oops.
I'm trying very hard to stop my habit however last Thursday in Logan botanical garden, lovely sunny day and the astrantia was a lovely souvenir much better than a cheesy mug or tea towel
