Stumbled On A Great Bargain Today

Popped into a local farm shop today that sells lots of plants and was happy to find all his perennials/shrubs reduced to clear to make room for his winter stock. I bought these beauties; a Gunnera, Phormium, Dwarf Pine and 2 Heucheras, original total would have been £26, but I paid £5 , as he had an offer on of £1.50 each or 5 for £5 - Happy Days

 

Nice bargain there bilbo

 

Nice one Bilbo........love the Gunnera especially

 

Thanks Loli, I jumped at the chance of the Gunnera, always wanted one, have no idea where its going yet , but at essentially £1 I wasn't going to miss the opportunity

 

You lucky booger!

 

You'm wern't listening to GQT today then

Back to the same farm shop today to see what else was left in his sale, almost got some 3ft tall boxus cones, reduced to £2.50 from £40!!! but on closer inspection they were all sold and awaiting collection -

Still I did get this nice 3ft standard patio rose for £1.50 instead of £15, a little tlc and it'll be fine

 

What rose is it please?
Jenny

 

Wow £2 for the Buxus.....

 

Hi Jenny, it has Rosa Cream Dream/Happy Times on the label, which after Googling are two different coloured roses, so its either two grafted together or a hybrid of the two??, here's a link with the two sold separately that I found

That's what I thought Loli when I saw them , thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, he even had a couple of 5ft cones down to £10 from £90, but they were looking a bit worse for wear..

 

What a shame you missed them Bilbo....it's taking me years to grow a 3ft hedge....could have had a ready made one for next to nothing

 

10 mins, 50. Gunnera as a weed.

 

Back to the farm shop in mention today for another browse and the guy who runs it made me an offer, he said I've got a barrow full of plants that are looking past their best that you can have for £3 if you want?, I had a look and said "why not", a bit of tlc and they should be good as new next year , 17 plants in total were taken home with me, including 3 roses, ornamental grasses, rhubarb, cordylines and other perennials - bargain!!
