And only get my roses from a rose nursery. But, still, Lowe's is a great place to spend some time (and money)! I go to several different ones in this area - they are all different. One is run by a very knowledgeable gardener, and I like that one the best. She's great at answering questions, too - not something one finds in the garden area of a big box store very often!HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-30485214702595377352013-03-19T01:29:28.141-07:002013-03-19T01:29:28.141-07:00Awesome pictures, Peter.

I find if you go on a Thursday they are often trying to get rid of stock delivered the Friday before. However, I do not go there looking for a specimen or real quality plant.Jasonhttp://gardeninacity.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-32059403537241086032013-03-18T12:29:14.019-07:002013-03-18T12:29:14.019-07:00It's well worth being open minded where one sh...It's well worth being open minded where one shops for plants.

I just threw plants in the cart and they ended up looking like that. Weird. I'll be going back to get more of those primroses to give as gifts and if those three 'quadricolors' are still there, one of them might just come home with me. I'll check the label of the bunch of peas plant when I get home.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-42373611481507950632013-03-18T10:37:39.639-07:002013-03-18T10:37:39.639-07:00Nurseries have wider variety and more unusual stu...Nurseries have wider variety and more unusual stuff but sometimes a cheap thrill is all you need.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-64835848804968522442013-03-18T10:35:24.440-07:002013-03-18T10:35:24.440-07:00It is hard to pass up a good buy on the basics!

Maybe Home Depot caught the error and corrected it but Lowes was the recipient of the mislabeled ones? It makes my head hurt!!!<br /><br />I see a definite color story in your purchases. Almost like you were buying for your Easter table centerpiece.

Later in the season they sometimes mark down their plants that are past or haven't had the most tender of care/watering. A little TLC can bring them back to life. Love the Yuccas and the pink primroses. Hmm...I need to buy some seeds today, maybe I'll try Lowes instead of the nursery.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323262555906240701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-47031828817614066792013-03-18T08:36:51.267-07:002013-03-18T08:36:51.267-07:00I also take the Lowe's road and not just for t...I also take the Lowe's road and not just for the hardware. I support the independent nurseries especially when looking for natives and specialty plants. With a large yard to fill it only makes sense to buy the basics where the best prices are. Sometimes they have great markdowns that are impossible to pass up like the carload of large Yucca filamentosa 'Color Guard' I planted all over the yard for just $4 each.<br /><br />That fan-shaped succulent is awesome. I tried a hanging succulent planter once and it was not pretty. Made a huge mess, couldn't keep them in place, and ended planting them all in pots. Some things are just not meant to be [sigh].<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-5480826249926638782013-03-18T06:56:27.320-07:002013-03-18T06:56:27.320-07:00We do love a bargain!
