I love my clearance at Lowe's, I'll go after a storm and pick up a lot of foliage that you can propogate, i will usually buy at least one plant from the clearance and then ask for the stuff i found on the ground, they look at me like... " You're asking if you can have the junk we have to sweep up every night?! I have so many beautiful plants because of this!
I never thought of that Julie your Genius
As a Lowe's employee, you can haggle on the distressed plants. We really don't care, because distressed plants will end up in the trash if they don't sell. So if you wanted those $5.98 plants for $2 instead if $4, all you have to do is ask something like, "hey, these aren't looking too good, can we lower the price a bit? I'd really like x amount of these for x price, if allowed." And 9/10 we're pretty happy to accommodate. (Hopefully not just my store is like this, lol.) Just make sure to talk to an employee in the department, can't stress this enough, don't try to haggle down the price with a cashier, that takes up the cashier's time, the time of those waiting in line behind you, and they'll just end up calling someone from the department anyways.
What a great comment thank you so much for sharing those tips with us!!! Im sure the subscribers will appreciate your inside knowledge. I know I do!!!!
Vicki - thank you for the tip. I actually went to Lowes today and asked a garden center person if they would reduce the sad looking sunpatiens further. She offered $3 (they were on clearance for $4). Still not enough for me so I passed. Love the tip though!
@@vivians8862 That's great to hear! Glad I could help :)
We just bought 2 quite large apple trees for $5 each. They were pitiful. They're looking good now. :)
😊
Stuart, please be sure to show us how these plants are looking in your landscape at the end of summer.
Time is not on my side I planted them today while I had 45 mins during the video uploading to UA-cam LOL!!! I will Try my best Vicki
Lowes clearance racks are the first place I look for plants. Every year there are different combinations of healthy to half-dead flowers & shrubs to play with. I especially enjoy the daunting challenge of saving the saddest ones. Must've been a tree surgeon in a previous life. 😷🌱
(In all seriousness, end of season sales are a great time to look for super low deals. Three years ago, late summer, bought a mostly dead 2 gallon double Knock-Out rose yellow tagged at $2.00; hard-pruned it & planted it in a protected semi-sun area. It's now the most beautiful rose-loaded shrub, all summer long. It always was - the top was a brown withered mess but the roots were in excellent shape. It just needed a little simple care. It really burns me to see these gorgeous plants neglected & dying in the back of box store yards. So wasteful.)
I'm glad you're giving these plants an opportunity to have a great home keep up the good work
I head straight to the back when I enter Lowe’s garden shop🤔..I can’t describe how many bargains I found that way..All these plants needed was water ..time🤣..and patience from me..
@@aquilaclark814 sometimes that's all any of us need!!!
@@aquilaclark814 Me too..nose like a bloodhound for the clearance racks. over the years I've come to realize that if it has one good leaf I can make it work.
@@itsmelynda 🙌🏽🙌🏽🥰
I love clearance plants, but don’t love the new pricing structure. I guess it’s still better than full price; gardening is not a cheap hobby!
I'm not a fan either but one less thing for them to do. Now all they have to do is draw a line through a bar code with a sharpie.
I had never heard of a Sand Cherry before until we saw them at Walmart. We really liked the color. They were normally 17.98. We got them for 8.92.
Nice! If you like that purple foliage just wait until you see the flowers really a fantastic combination.
🤣😂🤣😂 I was laughing so hard about the Sugar Tush name tag explanation story... LOL!
You got to own those prison nicknames.
I went to Lowe’s this week and found very healthy looking creeping phlox in one-gallon pots for $4 a pop. The only thing wrong with them was that they had already bloomed. I’m playing the long game in my garden, so I bought 6. I should have bought 12, but I was trying to restrain myself. I also stepped away from the $4 PW verbena at a second Lowe’s, but came back for it a day later. My will power has its limits.
I would have pulled the trigger on the phlox myself I love that as a full sun ground cover.
Gooooood deal 👍🏽 I’m over here in Texas buying the same amount for 16 a container 😳
What city are you in ?
Oh my goodness! I love your sense of humor! That with great info is priceless!! U are now one of my favs to watch..and Laura from Garden Answer...loves Cat Pajamas Nepeta!! Have a blessed weekend!! 👍🥳🙏🌻🌸
Yeah I'm not trying to compete with Laura she's a national treasure!!! I'm glad you're here welcome!!!!
Most of my shrubs and perennials are Lowe’s early fall 75% off with some summer stressed clearance thrown in. Yes, I’m still working some of last year’s buys into their forever homes. 🤦🏻♀️ Seeing wilted perennials and fried macrophylla hydrangeas come back to life is the best.
Feels great!!!!
We saved a lovely Japanese Maple. They had it sitting in the parking lot in full sun. The leaves looked like potato chips. It thanks us every year with it's beauty.
I did 4 hydrangeas and 3 rose bushes last year! Beautiful !
Got a hibiscus on the clearance, drier than anything ever, soaked it for 2 days, a week later I have some little leafs coming up now ❤️
Great Job Clair!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
Love your channel. Helps me understand what I should be paying for plants. More info means better decisions.
Glad it was helpful! Thats kinda why I stated this whole thing!!!
One of my local lowes is selling their clearance plants at $1. I bought so many annuals from proven winners. Most weren’t even distressed. I was able to fill my landscape with so much color.
I think thats a great thing right now it makes sense to buy annuals. July not so much. Great job you rock and keep up the good work I bet you landscape looks awesome!!!
Last year I bought cat’s meow in a quart size pot and I divided them in half just before planting two months later they were big and round, so if you need 20 just get 10 of them and do what I did, this year they are large and round so pretty 🤩
I just need to put some money back and order some. The ones I have at work are the lazy kind that fall over drunk around this time lol!!!
Great video! Watching you walk around Lowe’s and talk about plants is so enjoyable. I hope I find some dianthus on the clearance rack!💖
I found them I ended up taking six home planted them on my berm
Grasshopper here.. I am greatfull for the clematis teaching. Got it! Always had a love /hate relationship with them. Moving more to the love side today.😊
They still piss you off no matter how much you Know about them but it might set your mind at ease a little knowing I have the same problems LOL!!!
Your videos are so informative and better than most. Thank you.
You are so welcome! I like meeting you all.....mostly LOL!!! 99% lets say that!!! I like hearing that this style of plant talk is working its had its challenges
enjoying your sense of humor as much as the plants and flowers.
I put less clips in this time what did you think still as entertaining?
All plants are guaranteed for a year , including clearance . I use to work lawn and garden at Lowes … just save your receipt or have a mylowes account with your phone number to back up your purchases
Great Tips, I love it!!!!
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 another tip to save time searching ,
Yellow tag-full ☀️ sun
Orange tag- about 6 hours sun
Purple tag- shade plant
Slam dunk with that tip!!!! I will never remember that lol!!!
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 lol 😂
I came for the prison stories but stayed for the plants.
You've heard them all before lmao!!!
You have another new subscriber!!! Loved your video, especially the story about Sugar Tush! My kind of humor. Going to Lowe's soon!
That's awesome that's not my favorite prison nickname my favorite one would be " fancy foot" and that story is in a subscriber comment video
New subscribers from Mobile, AL. Great and helpful channel.
Glad you're here!!!!
I live in Arkansas and the Wonerful little Dianthus never stop blooming ( even during the Winter here). Snow doesn't kill them ! Common name "Pinks, I had never seen any color except that with white ruffles around the edges. Last year, my friend and I found Purple and Maroon( almost red). They are Beautiful ❤💜 !!
I am a huge fan and had forgotten about them for a couple of years!!! I need to open up some more bed space so I can by a couple 4 flats and go crazy!!!
Thanks, Sugar Tush! Hilarious story!🤣And no joking, these tips are seriously helpful to me - especially the clematis.
I'm Happy you liked it. Clematis are so pretty but they are a pain in butt for sure, and sometimes not!! Like relationships!
This Guy is So personable and Knowledgeable about different plants 1st time seeing him and feel in Love with him.
Jada you have great taste!!!!!
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141Absolutely!! Sir, I have a question, I'm in zone 9 Southern, CA. I'm new to gardening. My Daughter's baby passed away Sept. 26th 2021 she was born prematurely/ my granddaughter she only lived 3 hours. I did a winter wonderland theme in my daughter's garden area for Christmas as a memoraI. Now I want to plant flowers that attract butterflies 🦋 to do a butterfly Garden in her memory, however my daughter is scared of bees, any suggestions on things I could plant to attract butterflies but deter bees? does spearmint work or pineapple mint? Blessings 🙌 to you!!
@@jadasnowrememberingGigi_Always wow! What a sad story I am sure that is hard on everyone. God bless you and your family. As for your question I do not know a way to attract butterfly and not bee's. They pretty much go for the same thing, I have more moths and butterfly on my butterfly bush than bee's but I do see them. I will think on this one but right now I am at a loss.
😊 Thanks
Love your knowledge and you have helped me learn a lot about plants. Thank you for all of your videos.
You are so welcome! I'm glad I could help it makes this all worth it!!!
You are hilarious. Sugartush. I literally cackled. KNEE DEEP IN THAT BUDDELIA! I just discovered your channel. I think you are my people.
Welcome I'm glad you're here. Watch let's plant stuff that's my favorite 😜
I think I subscribed for the comedy!!!
It's cool with me sometimes humor can save a man!
I've been getting most of my perennials and shrubs from Lowes clearance and haven't had any issues. They might look terrible for the first season but after that they're great.
I agree! 100%
I just found you! You have a new subscriber.
I went to Lowe's on mother's day weekend, too. But I did not shop for plants. I'll go back during the week when it's quieter.
I needed soil and potato-size rocks. I've been trying to eliminate quack grass creeping from neighbor's yard before I fill my nearby raised beds and grow veggies and cutting flowers. After cutting off invasive roots, I dug a small trench and am filling it with rocks as a barrier the grass won't like to cross. I lined the trench with fabric first. Still cutting out volunteer tree roots a few years after felling the trees. They're as big as my forearm!
I heard how expensive annuals are this year. Yikes! My seed-starting experiment is sort of a bust so hopefully direct seeding goes much better.
Now I'm going to watch more of your videos.
I'm Glad I got to meet you Thanks for the sub!!! would build a mote and set it on fire we have Bermuda grass here that runs me ragged!! Good luck!!!
Direct sow seeds always seem to work better for me rather than start them early indoors. Also annuals are cheaper in general at nurseries, grocery stores and places like tractor supply
@@HandcraftedintheFoothills I try to stay away from annuals because I end up spending to much, I have 0 will power
You must know there are two different species of Japanese Maples and the $80.00 one you showed is the cheaper one and the larger one (look at the leaves on both) is much cheaper. I have 3 of the cheaper leaved Japanese Maple tree and they are just as pretty and probably also healthier. You cannot get the lacy leafed Japanese Maple for a cheap price no matter how long you wait.
I must know that their are a lot more than 2 types of Japanese maples This particular One is Acer palmatum Dissectum Tamukeyama Like I said in the video. I also must know that the Dissectums Are the slower growing of the Japanese Maple and can reach 8-10 feet and 12ft wide with time Lots of time. I have 20 different types of jap maples where I work and they range from 49.99 to 1200. I disagree with pretty much everything you said in you comment I think I must be misunderstanding what you are trying to teach me.
New sub here. Thank you for the info. I love getting deals on plants at Lowes. A couple years ago, I bought a four-shelf cart, full of annuals and perennials for $20. It was late in the season but it was worth it to me. Now I just keep my eye out for whatever I can find. Thanks again, looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. 😊
Awesome! Thank you! I need all the views I can get so I can get famous and landscape Elon Musk's house on Mars.
My son and I watched you on mother's day ! Thanks for the info and the entertainment !
My pleasure!! Enjoy the day!!!!
I'm waiting until end of May and June. I had huge sticker shock when I went to my local nursery - they had a 6 inch twig Japanese maple for (are you sitting down?) $79. Yep, you read that right. I actually busted out laughing and walked away.
Nuts!!! Why even bring something like that in for they had to have known what it was going to cost the end user!! Silly!!!
I got one at Aldi for $14. Aldi is the best, but it’s all about being in the right place at the right time.
Thank you for doing these vlogs, I am learning so much and building my garden on a budget because of your advice
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching I'm glad I get a chance to help!!!
Came home today with 2 very nice forsythia and 1 eastern redbud tree.....clearance priced. I had been wanting both, but glad I waited! What a rush!
I know right!!!!! I love finding something on clearance that I've been waiting for!!!
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 my husband likes peach, yellow, or coral colors. Are there any plants I should try to find this fall? I liked that one yellow peony bush you found, so pretty! 💕
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure!
Love your videos! Perfect combination of good information and good laughs! I always go directly to the clearance racks first when I shop at a Lowes . Hopefully June will bring us better deals on the plants. Meanwhile I am thoroughly enjoying my first 3 smaller hauls and they are blooming beautifully! 👏🪴🥰
It always feels good to get great deals and than have them preform. Thank you for the comment keep watching!!!!!
I agree about the all the dwarf varieties they’re coming out with. I have big spaces to fill.
Good luck creating something new is most of the fun for me!!
😄😆you have such a great personality. Funny and knowledgeable.
Thanks Lisa Glad you swung by and said hello!
In northern Michigan, I watched this video today and skee-daddled on over to my local Lowes. Found the dianthus plugs and bought a tray!!!! Also bought a tray of columbine (little square pots) @ $2.00 ea instead of $4.98 each
Love, love, love your videos, humor and funny movie clip inserts!!!
That is awesome! Great score's Nikki would you believe that some people find the clips annoying!!!! I hope I can find some discount Columbine this year!
Enjoyed your video as always. Love the advice on price. I bought all clearance plants last year & they are coming up great this year.
You don't see it on camera but I always go to the clearance rack first
Love the name "Sugar Tush"!! Lol!
You got to own those prison nicknames
Wow lots of plants for landscaping and for garden lovers.
Yes we like the plants here!!!
Thanks for sharing the zone 6 "secret" about the annual dianthus that will come back as a perennial! Ill sure have to get me some!!! ha ha! Im also in zone 6.
Yep works good for me enjoy yourself
thanks! just discovered you. right on.
Glad you are having fun!!!!
There’s no way you can get a Japanese maple where I live for $20, ever, even in a sale. I wish:)
It's like that in the busy markets I like the out of the way Lowe's they seem to have less traffic thus more discounted material. Ots like that at my Nursery if stuffs not selling I'll move it at cost.
It’s called clematis wilt. If you notice the leave starting to wilt and turn brown the only thing to really do is cut it all out and place it into a garbage bag. Mine got it and I cut it to the ground and it came back beautifully. It was a purple Jack Mani. 1 only prune the dead off. 2 cut last year’s growth(light pruning) 3 can be and should be cut back to the ground. Always keep the root’s shaded with mulch or other plants like a ground cover and there heads in the sun. I have bought several clearance plants from Lowes and you are definitely taking a chance with survival lol
Great Tips!!
Wow, my Lowe's has nowhere near a clearance rack like this. At mine, there is usually about 5 plants that are practically dead if not fully dead. Ah yes....the downside of living in a small town.
Yes I can see that bothering me! Sometimes the out of the way Lowes are the best for clearance. Sometimes!
Went hunting today. Found 2, pugster butterfly bushes , 2 gal. One blue, one pink. Thanks Stuart...
Sweeeeeet!!!!! I love those!!!
I asked the Lowes sales person she was like take it or leave it, Im not lowering the price. She was so rude that I was embarrassed and walked away with my tail between my legs.
I'm sorry that that happened to you you might have gotten a Bad Apple
I read where a Lowes manager threatened to call the cops and press charges on someone for taking plants out of their discarded trash bin. Guess there is a difference between stores on how they enforce policy.
I just found your channel I’ve got to head to Lowe’s but I’m going to leave my grocery money at home🥰.. you really gave some good tips ..I did not know some Lowe’s garden shops were changing their pricing system ..I hope they change it here in Alabama thanks so much🙌🏽🙌🏽..I’ll save your video ..share your videos..and keep watching new new ones that you make..🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thank you I'm your biggest fan. Share away!!!! Thanks again!!! I will try not to disappoint!!!
Thank you for your feedback on the plants at Lowes!!!!
You are so welcome Joyce
When it comes to trying to figure out the color of a plants flowers. I usually look very close at stems and leaves to see if there is a slight blush or color. This works for me most times. I have many years of experience with classification of plants.
Wow!! Tips for days thank you for the Comment!!!
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 Really I just wanted to say hello and that I think your handsome. Other passages were just being coy. Didn't know what to say. 💞🍀
Love you and enjoy your humor!!
I'm glad you're having a good time enjoy yourself
Enjoy hearing your insight especially the lowes discount rack. You are right they did change the discount structure dramatically putting the margin most of the time on there favor so you have to really be careful to see if you are getting a good deal
True story, it's a cash cow that's for sure. But now they don't have to pay somebody to walk around in individually tag dead plants which I thought was asinine every time I've seen it
Dianthus performs so well for me blooms the whole year i'm basically on the zone 8b/9a line in mostly clay soil. Even the cheap no name dianthus perform.
I agree I love them too!!!
You are my new favorite channel. And may I say, you look great in neon shirt buddy. Lol
I wear the high visibility shirts for insurance purposes got to keep OSHA happy plus it's all I own
I’m absolutely rolling ! Name tag “sugar tush”! !!!! I had to rewind to pay attention ! lol
That's right I'll slip one by ya!!
Now it all makes sense…an ex-con nicknamed Sugar Tush…the Mountain Dew addiction…compulsive movie quotes = one great channel!
Just a little peek in the behind-the-scenes action of landscape rescue
Is the prison thing a joke?
@@tessstewart1893 I hope so!!!
I'm usually at Lowes every day getting all my plants off the clearance! They had a ton of knock of roses the huge pot ones for half off and why because they went thru a frost but there was nothing wrong with them the leaves were so healthy and the buds. Well I planted mine today and ittmed maybe 2 tip branches off!!
that's awesome I love the knock out series. They are hard to beat! Good for you great find!!
You’re my new hero (I’m zone 8A) ~ heading to Lowes in the morning
Ain't nothing but a thing Donna I hit up three Lowe's in a week looking for good deals a lot of times I just forget to bring my camera

PA we are damn near Brothers. Him Laura and I were in the Coast Guard together
Ballin' on a budget.
I started some perennials seeds with the winter sowing method and so far so good.
Sweet !! I saved a bunch of Mt Dew 2Ltr bottles for that very reason than SOMEBODY went and recycled them because they where all over the garage. That reminds me I should work on the bird bath today.
I just got a Japanese Maple at Walmart for $9.99... it was 50% off.
WOW!!!! Yes I would have bought all of them that's crazy!!!
Hey I am still in a cold snap!!! Zone 6a in Orange County NY. Raining and freezing cold in the 40s and 50s!!!! I am soooooooo sick of it!!!
This was the first weekend we have had nice weather, Very cold and rainy here for a while now, plus flooding! Our springs for the most part are pretty crazy.
Wally World has smaller Japanese Maples with the fine textured leaves for 19.97, right now!
LOL See I'm not crazy!!! If anyone would know where to find those deals its you. My Walmart is still holding on to hope they can still have a season everything is still full price I have my eyes on some climbing roses There.
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 errr I'm looking for one that flowers throughout the season too for my arbor. Btw, that little maple is probably 3 foot tall and it's not on sale at 19.97

Thanks, I'm running to Lowe's!
See you there!!! I've been 3 times this week. I have no will power at all!!!
This video was perfect timing. I just bought a several sand cherries from my local Lowe's in MA for $25 this past weekend. I had never heard of them but loved the leaf color - so thanks for the info! Selection this year is a sad state affairs - and what they do have is expensive so hoping it gets better as the season progresses. Not a single clematis to be found
I like the sand cherry when someone takes care of them and prunes them. They turn into a mess when left alone so feed them give them water and love them and they will one day visit you in the nursing home!!
Stuart what zone are you in. I’m in 6a Massachusetts and discovered your videos this week. I’m one of those gardeners that start buying plants the first week in May due to pure excitement of gardening, but find myself putting my plants in the garage at night and bringing back out during the day…my neighbors must think I’m crazy🤪. Happy to stumble upon your videos!!
I know I have done that before not this year but last. Thank you I'm glad you part of this channel now and we should have lots more fun together!!!!!
Oh zone 6 but sometimes we get super cold and dip into 5
Nice, thanks for sharing.
You're welcome 😊 hope you had a good time!!!
I went yesterday in Mobile, Alabama. 😳 no clearance stuff worth buying. I paid 30.00 each for limelight hydrangea. 😢
Yeah but 5 years from now you might remember what you paid for him but all you're going to think about is how pretty they are.
Went to Lowe's and found a Foxglove (with 2 plants in one container) for half price (9.50)…and 2 coreopsis for $4.00 each. They need some TLC, but I know they will recover. I live in Wichita Falls, TX (it's going to be 106 degrees here today...5/15/22), and there is a home improvement store called "Sutherlands". They had perennials for $2.50 last weekend! Needless to say I'm stocked up. They were gorgeous plants, and they weren't root bound. The varieties were limited, but I got "mellow, yellow" coneflower, veronicas, royal candles, moonbeam coreopsis and columbines.
That should have said 5/15/22. Oops.
What tha!!! 5/18/22!!!!!
LOL!!!!
Sounds like you did REAL GOOD!!!! Great price on those Perennials !!!!
Lol, without getting to specific😉, was your cell mate from Mississippi??? I have a couple of aunts and uncles who use the "T" sound just like that.. lol. BTW, love your channel. So funny!
Thank you for the comment!! I want to have fun and not take this to seriously, That's also the audience I'm trying to build for the channel I think you might fit in with us here! Welcome!!
I am a plant rescuer petunias I would love to see how you cut back your petunias and it's progress.....PLEASE
Stores in my area also move carts to a hidden location in the garden and stop watering before they put them on clearance so they are good and dead. This started after Covid and the employees became incompetent.
I think they keep them on the racks too long I had some annuals on a rack for two days and they started to degrade but I water them real good and they pop right back and I saw them at full price
I bought a DWARF cherry tree from Lowes a few years back and it is now over 20 ft. Buyer beware! It is definitely a full size tree.
I don't know what it said on the tag but 20 is still simi dwarf. I have cherries at my nursery that will get 30-35ft But you are right Dwarf is also a marketing tool used by growers and than you flip the tag over and its simi dwarf and still way to big for a corner planting.
Okay. So you may have started an addiction with me. I have been to Lowe's shopping the the clearance the last 2 days in a row.. Yesterday got 2 6 packs of Vincas that were beautiful for a buck each and a nice Crepe Myrtle for 4 bucks all in clearance. Today got another bush and two big nice Coreopsis for 9 bucks all in Clearance. I am hoping to stay away until next week but wish me luck.
Score! I can't really take credit for the addiction I feel like it was always there now you just have a big group of people that like it just as much as you do
Lowes changed the way they do their clearance pricing to standardize it throughout the chain. Lowes no longer clearances plants due to how long they have been in the garden center but more to do with condition of the plants. It's extremely time consuming to handle every plant and swipe the bar codes with a sharpie. Also some Monrovia plants are worth the extra bucks due to the quality of the stock and the great planting methods Monrovia uses. But you have to know what plants actually come from Monrovia itself and what plants are grown by the other vendors but placed in the Monrovia pots. Even though there are standards( given by Monrovia) by which the other vendors are to grow those plants they don't appear to be as good quality.
I've covered this in another video I talked to some Monrovia reps and the standards are high to put something in a Monrovia pot but the pot is a lot thinner so long jevity in full sun water retention the insulating quality the pot definitely has an effect. And I agree with you 100% I've made a comment on another video about how asinine it is to have an employee walk around and tag plant material that no one's going to buy so from the business aspect the new Matrix makes a ton of sense
gee inventories are very high plenty of clearance going on. its nuts home depot wont discount too.
I see some clearance at Home Depot from time to time but they have more of a pay by scan business model than Lowe's does which means the grower owns the plants not Home Depot Home Depot's more of a consignment shop
HD had a sad huge pile of plants stacked on top of each other smashing the lower levels. Had room available on the racks so not sure why they were ruining some.
Black Lace Elderberry makes a good Japanese Maple alternative
I like elderberry in the sunshine 🌞 Japanese maples more mourning sun afternoon shade.
Stuart moore.....54K views!! 54K!!! Dude!
LOL!!! Yup Good Times!!! Meeting allot of cool people, Talking plants we folks from all over the country having a tone of fun!!!
Our Lowe's clearance is 👍Blessing
I agree 100%
Found butterfly bushes. In zone 6. Bushes have buds... Should I cut back, should I cover them. ?? Nite temps in 40 's....
No they should be good . I cut mine back to a foot or so because I have a tendency to get allot of winter die back. I feed them around this time also
Just a heads up folks, my lowes moved the clearance racks and I had to ask where they were. So if you don't find them in their usual place, keep looking.
Not gonna keep Robin away from that Discount rack!!!!
thank you
Thank you Willy Will!!!!
Glad i found you, had a few laughs!! I subscribed, can always use gardening laughs! I don't have anywhere locally to buy decent plants except the world's tiniest Wal-Mart! I head directly to Lowes & Home Depot when i hit the city, straight to the clearance aisle before anything else! Looking forward to more of your plant humor!
Still some good clearance at Wally World, but if it's super small Lowe's and HD is probably the clearance Mecca for you. Let's face it when it comes to clearance they are my go to also I just don't have to drive very far. Good luck I'm glad your here more laughs on the way.
I hate Lowe's new clearance policy. The old way was so much better and so much less waste. The Lowe's around my area act like their hands are tied with not being able to reduce further pricing so they just end up throwing away the majority of their clearance plants because people aren't willing to pay the new pricing system. It's not a bad when plants are originally over $14 dollars and you get half off. But anything under that place is not that great of a savings.
Not a stuff is banged up I can see if it was an immaculate salvia in a 1 gallon pot for four bucks that's kind of a steal but a beat up salvia that has new growth about an inch tall and the rest is dead yeah I'm not going to pay $4 for it.
Sugar, might have to go against your advice to wait on the cut leaf maples. At 72 I don't do much pouncing and time is not on my side.🙄
You would be surprised how many times I hear that while helping people find plants at work LOL!!!
You do you!!! I have a feeling you have earned the right to spoil yourself a little bit!!!
New subscriber here, love your videos 😍
Nice to meet you !!! Welcome to the team!!!
Where were you 50 years ago, I had to learn this on my own. Do you do yard work in Ohio. Lol
Im having a hard time doing yard work at my own house but I do like a mean buckeye!!!
Come back it is now 07-29-2023 we miss you
That pricing structure on clearance was that way in TN last fall
Yep I can't say I'm happy about it I think the days of $0.50 balloon flower might be over
What are you going to be on the hunt for come June? I’ll be looking for a limelight standard, a Kwanzan cherry, Veronica, and aha tuff stuff hydrangeas. Clearance hydrangeas don’t show up til the fall, but I got a shot at the others.
Looking to stock up on some Coral Drift Roses Would have been nice to do that last year during that 50% off all shrub sale. But with prices where they are I don't think I would bit at 50% off. This might be the year I fill up on perennials and pay it forward stuff. Would like to get my hands on some small 5gal Kousa Dogwoods. Who knows what will show up LOL!!!
