      prize are different but I bough a yucca aloifolia for £12.99 while at amulree are £35 + postage , what it was impressive is the size of the plants the, musa bajo , bamboos , palms , bottlebrush , and some of the yuccas are well worth the prize ,I couldn`t really check all the prize as my girlfriend pulled me away from there :lunapic 130165696578242 5:.

          Just got back from our Costco and they didn't have any. I talked to the manager and she had a look on the computer and nothin showed up for this store. She said it could be either a roadshow where they go to different areas with them but don't keep them in stock. If you saw anything you wanted you best go back and get it. There's also no way to tell if they're coming to your area or not so basically you just have to get lucky going in there. Oh well, it saved me a few quid..........

          [​IMG]
          it`s a full hardy purple yucca should stand -10 .
          plus for who is close to Milton Keyness , I`ve found some aloe aristata at £2.59 each
          once again frost hardy aloe that will make something original in your garden (stolen the idea from Pete ) .
