This past week was a great one for shopping...plant shopping to be more specific. I went plant crazy at a local nursery chain we have, Houston Garden Center, as evidenced by the image above.
I stopped in Home Depot for something else and decided to roam through their garden department. I found a whole table of perennials, $2.00 each. I got 4 Blue Plumbagos, 4 Black Eyed Susans, and 4 Lantanas. Then I went to Houston Garden Center (ad above), where they have a 70% off all plants sale!
I bought 2 Mexican Firebush, 2 Purple Rubellia, 2 Balloon Flowers, 2 Firecracker Plants, 2 Durantas and 3 pots of Cannas (2 bulbs in each of several varieties).
Then I went to another location a few days later and bought even more!
I bought 2 Oleanders, 3 more Lantanas in different colors, 3 Mexican Heather plants, 2 Pentas in different colors, and 2 Esperanza Yellow Bells. I still need to find some Texas Sage, but that's on the plan for this weekend and/or this week during my lunch break.
I purchased almost 40 plants and spent less than $70 total. Even though each was priced differently that still averages out to less than $2 per plant. Now I just need to care for them (watering them daily, keeping them in town) and once Fall arrives, along with its cooler weather, I can start planting them.
Hoping next Spring will be colorful and beautiful, like so many of the inspiration pictures I find every Thursday.
