I had to make another trip to Lowes with no intention of buying plants Yet I could not stick to my no spend plan, I found some fantastic bargain rack plants I could not pass up. They were on my wishlist for this season and I was tickled to get them for half-price.

I worked in my local Lowes garden center for 8 yrs & loved it. Timing is everything when it comes to the clearance racks. We had customers that would come in twice a week to check the clearance racks. As an employee we got first pick…how I miss that! lol Anyway, after going way passed my flower budget this year due to getting impatient in the beginning of the planting season buying full price plants, I’ve made a decision for next year. Since my garden beds are pretty well established & have been for a couple years, I am going to challenge myself & my patience & only buy clearance/ discounted plants at Lowe’s. Should be fun & it will definitely challenge my patience in waiting for them to start being marked down & not buying full price early in the season when we all get antsy to start planting.😂

That sounds like a great challenge. I am also giving myself a goal of looking consistently for plants I have already on my wishlist and sticking to that as close as possible. Now I have left room for trying plants that are new to me to see how well they perform in my challenging conditions. I think I would like working part time in the Lowes garden center.

In my Southern CA area, Lowe's often on weekends (and sometimes even during the week) all outdoor clearance plants are 50% or 75% off. During the week the plants seem to be in better shape. Of course I need to quit stopping there as I have so many plants, but I just can't resist such good prices - and so many things are also easy to propagate. If you want kettle-type planters, remember to pay attention to Halloween merchandise when things appear in stores. There are usually black plastic things that can be painted any color. I have some in my backyard that I left black as I use some black in my backyard.

I'm a big fan of the bargain rack at Lowes, and you're right its all about the timing!

@FlowerPatchFarmhouse 2 ай бұрын

Yes, it is and I learned that lesson. My closest Lowes is over an hour away so I just have to make do with going in when we are over there for something necessary. But it is rather like a treasure hunt and fun in of itself.

Good morning Pamela! 😊 Great finds - especially those tree roses 🌹 yay!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and you're right, if you can stop in once a week or more just to check.... you can find some beautiful and super nice plants and shrubs 😃 Have a lovely weekend!!

Good morning! I wish I lived closer so it was easier to check in more often but on the other hand that might be dangerous as I only have so much room.

Hello!!! I love the Lowe's bargain racks. I've scored several shrubs and perennials. My climate in southeastern Tennessee is really hot and humid so plants get stressed easily at the nursery. Last year I found a little lime hydrangea, encore azalea carnation, jubilation gardenia, garden phlox, sedum, and my favorite a myer lemon tree. Most only needed a good watering and a little food to recover from the stress. Would love to find a tree rose.

That is awesome! Sounds like you have scored plenty of treasures too.

I have two Lowe’s in my area. I’ve learned that one has much better deals than the other. In fact, if they have a lot of markdowns one day, things will be marked down significanlty below the usual 50% off. I’ve scores some amazing deals there before. I have learned that Mondays are a bad day for markdowns. On your recommendation, I picked up some Wave petunias. They were in pretty good shape and I’ve transplanted them in my front garden bed.

@FlowerPatchFarmhouse 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing!! Yes, I have found the same, one Lowes, to my east has more variety on the racks than the one to my west. So I assume much depends on the garden center manager. I think getting to know them my be to our benefit. Mondays is probably bad as everyone goes to the garden center on the weekend when they are out enjoying doing some gardening.

You guys are so lucky. I don't drive and have to pay like $25 plus shipping for a plant in a 2.5" pot. So if they die it just kills me.

Great finds!!! I transplanted two climbing roses last week from temporary pots into the ground. The leaves are all falling off now, but the branches still appear to be green. Did I kill them or will they bounce back?

As long as there's "green" they're still alive. Just keep an eye on them.

I just got some Proven Winner daylilies and Sunpatiens from Lowe's clearance. I am happy to have them on discounts, but I do not like the way my Lowe's discounts the plants now. The price used to be discounted at the managers' discretion, not the tier system they use now.

@FlowerPatchFarmhouse 2 ай бұрын

Yes, it is quite different but more organized. Before I would get to the check out and the checker had no idea how to discount them on their system and would have to call for management, then that took a while and there are several folks behind you waiting..., but if the manager is there during a delivery you can score some plants very discounted when they need to make room. I am thinking of calling our local lowes and find out when they get deliveries.
