I was in Walmart today to pick up some potting soil and some large pots to repot some of my palm trees and other plants.
One of the garden center gals was throwing all kinds of plants in a cart. I asked her what they were doing with them and she said throwing out. (They were wilting and drying up.) I asked her if I could have them or how much they wanted for them. She checked and came back and said $10 for the whole cart. I thought cool!
Our best friends were in there at the same time and were looking for plants for their yard too, so I told them I'll split them with you if you like. So we each paid $5.
We got 7 hydrangea's (Merrits Supreme), one Begonia (Dragon Wing), one rose bush (can't remember the name - but a red one, like friends were buying already), 4 hanging baskets (assorted), 2 Ipomea (Sweet Caroline) and a few others.
We took them to friends house and split them up. I brought mine home and transplanted all except the hanging plants.
I think I got a good deal, but really shouldn't be buying plants right now as we are going to be moving by months end and more to drag. But, I just can't help myself when it comes to plants, and I thought it was a great deal!
What do you all think?
