Did they explain why they wanted to get rid of then so cheaply?
ReplyDeleteThat is a really great deal and they look great!
ReplyDeleteLucy, no but it is common for both Lowe's and Home Depot to make things down to get rid of them. It is usually at the end of the season when they are making room for new plants.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! I once scored a sale at Lowe's where every perennial was $1. I was in heaven!! Bonus good luck on the free pot. :o) Happiness for you!
ReplyDeletehaha! I saw a similar boxwood deal today, and while I had to go home to 'think' on it, I think I need me some buxus too!
ReplyDeletePhillip,
ReplyDeleteGood find. You might even get a better deal behind the store. I find tossed out plants often at one of our HDs. A few years ago I got 3 -1 gallon camellias for $10.
oh this word verification is awful.
You lucky duck. What a snag. I love those varigated shrubs and of course you can't beat a green boxwood.
ReplyDeleteI love a good bargain and this is an amazing one! Good find!
ReplyDeleteI worked at a HD competitor that is no longer in business. My boss told be to throw out all of the Japanese Maples because the leaves had come off and he needed the room for Christmas trees. I asked if I could have a few to try and "re-vive" them, and I got 3 for $5.
ReplyDeleteGreat find. I got almost $200 of skypencils, rhodo, gardenia & Encores for a little over $18 at Lowe's last fall. Since I'd just had knee surgery I put them in my greenhouse. I found out field rats love gardenia's. Hopefully those nubs will come back out. Mary
ReplyDeleteThey needed your loving touch! A good end to the weekend for you and the boxwoods!
ReplyDeleteExcellent bargins! They look great and I think you made good choices.
