Hi guys,

I see that Aldi and Lidl have some bedding plants on offer over the next week or two and fancy some for my garden. The prices seem reasonable and I think some of them should give good coverage and some colour to my borders, not need too much maintenance and not cost too much.

All I need to know, is are Argyranthemum, Levendar, Laurentia etc hardy?

I want something I can put in the border and then it will keep coming back year after year...

BTW, the links (if they work) are:

Aldi

Lidl

  • I'd probably go for the stuff in Lidl on that basis.

    I have to be honest re lidl, most of the plants I have had from there havent been much good. The rasberries never grew but others did from other shops, I had 4 shrubs 2 for me and 2 for my daughter and none of them are doing very well, I think they may give up,like I have
