    Hi bargain hunters, At BnQ  I got 2  3ltr pots of fire dragon polyanthus was £4 each down to£1.  2 beautiful yellow ranunculus  50p each were £3, and a tray of 9 phlox £1 was £3. Always love a bargain. I always look at the reduced  plants at BnQ and ALWAYS get some mega bargains.

    I was in Homebase today.  I didn't succumb to temptation, but they have just got in a load of new herbaceous plants.  Quality looks really good and the prices are reasonable too.  Probably looking good because they haven't been in long.  Possibly worth a look if you happen to be passing.

     Love it. Smaller than it looks.

    These look good. Do you know what they are called? Where did you get them?

    Was just walking around a wyevale GC.



    Shocked by their rather scandalous prices.

    Exactly same product at my local GC 10?? for TWO!



    clematis 16?? for a 2 litre plant



    Local GC 15?? for a 4 litre and 3 times the size plant.



    Smh.
