At this time of the year there are a lot of garage sales around here, and in recent years people have started selling perennials at their sales. I have added many perennials to my garden this way without spending big bucks.
That way I can splurge on the plants I really like, HOSTAS!! Sometime in the next week or two, I want to make a trip to Wade and Gatton Nurseries, a Garden Center that features over 2,000 Hostas. Try picking several Hostas out of a selection like that....Not easy!
All of these plants I found in the last week were only one or two dollars each.
My best find was a pink peony for one dollar!! Who doesn't love peonies?
I was also thrilled to find a pink Asiatic Lily for a buck. Sometimes I end up getting a different color than what is on the label, or something I just don't care for, but I figure since I didn't put much money in it, I can get rid of it if I don't like it. I like these lily's regardless of the color.
Dwarf Purple Iris
Lemon Balm....Smells so good!
Creeping Phlox
I have this in the lavender color, but I wanted a pink one too. Those colors look so pretty side by side. Now I need the white one too!
Coreopsis Zagreb
Coral Bells
Snowdrop Anemone
These are so lovely in a woodland garden with their nodding white flowers on very long stems.
Oregano
Tricyrtis
Also known as "Toad Lily"
Pink Sedum
What a bunch of great perennials. The price is right also. Can't beat that.

You sure got a bunch of great perennials Pearl. Great price too girl. LOL! I love the anemone. What a pretty little bloom. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat buys, Pearl.... I want a peony --but haven't found any on sale yet... I'll have to keep looking.
ReplyDeleteYour Pink Sedum looks like my Autumn Joy Sedum... I love those things ---and they take so little care.
Our Phlox has long gone for this year.
Love the Coral Bells.... Gorgeous.
Have a great weekend/week.
Hugs,

Shut the front door! What great plants for unbelievable prices. I think this is an awesome way to thin out the garden. May do this at my next yard sale...after all it is for VBS for church.
