Plants in Costco

If anybody has a Costco card (or knows someone who has one), their plants are well worth a look cos you can pick up some real bargains

The plants are a good size and a lot cheaper than you'd pay at the likes of B&Q

At the moment they've got good sized Acers in for £15. They are the same size (or slightly larger) than one I bought earlier this year from mailordertrees for £35 (plus postage).

They've also got patio roses in for less than a fiver and some other climbing roses for a few quid more.

Really worth going regularly from March onwards as they get the new stock in of planters, then April onwards they get plants in. I've bought a Magnolia Susan for a tenner (which was two plants in one pot so I've split it) and a Rhododendron Pelopidas (below) for about £11. You do need to do regularly though as the stock changes.



Earlier in the year they had 7ft high fruit trees for under a tenner.

The most surprising thing for me is that I've been there tonight and managed not to buy any more Acers or Roses so I'm feeling quite proud of myself
