Best Value Plant this year

I think the best value purchase I made this year was Cosmos.

I bought 2 packs of 4 plants from a Nursery for £2.00 per pack in April.
They have been flowering consistantly since May and still prolific in late September.
The non-stop Begonias, Alstomeria and bedding Dahlias have also done well.

Anyone else well pleased with specific plants

 

I bought a Lobelia valida 'Delft Blue' from a carboot at the end of July for 75p; it's was just starting to flower then and it's only just going over now and it has an amazing sweet scent too :thumb:

I've also picked up Tropical Hibiscus for 25p, Dahlia's for between 50p and £1 to name just a couple :thumb:

 

A variegated leaf fuschia I bought from a car boot sale in the spring for £1.50. I produced more plants from cuttings.

 

The plant i bought, within this last year, that would come into this category is a Ceanothus.

Ceanothus 'zanzibar' is a variegated variety and is supposed to be a bit 'difficult' - or so i've been told by various people.
It has however sailed through the minus 12 winter and then again through the early bad drought and now the poor summer ..... it's doing marvellously - so this is definately my Best Value For Money plant this year :D

 

My local homebase usually has a massive selection of sickly plants at reduced prices. Picked up a golden thyme for 20p. It had been overwatered but put it in a really dry bed and it's good as new now

 

Bought some cheap mixed begonia corms from Wilco .They have been spectacular and still going ..

The best value plants from seed this year , the Cannas have been stunning and still looking good. Salvia hummingbird and Thunbergia blushing and salmon shades all very pretty and good performers
Best plug plants , Sunpatiens , a variety of New Guinea impatiens , a great performer in containers - all my other Busy Lizzies succumbed to the mold :DOH:

 

One of my best value plants was trailing verbina,they've been really beautiful and never before know what a lovely scent they have
Also got a rhodey from home base that was in 'casualty corner' was £20 down to £4.50 and a black eyed susie down to £1.50 both looked proper poorly but look ab fab now......:yess:

 

I bought a Zantedeschia deep pink colour - 1 bulb/corm fom Wilinsons and now have 4 plants - well worth 99p!
