Heads Up- Relatively Inexpensive Plants

Did you know Marc's sells plants in the late spring?

This year, according to my sister, the Henderson Road did not get a permit to sell plants on their "patio" outside the store. However, the Westerville store still is selling plants. The selection changes every time a new truck load arrives (every couple of days); so it's sort of a scavenger hunt of what you might find each time you go...

A few prices & idea of the variety:

Hanging baskets- $8.99 (ferns @11.99)
fushia, petunias, bacopa, geraniums, begonias, pansies, violas, lobelia, ferns, mixed, etc

Half flats- $4.98?
annual salvia, small zinnias, marigolds, petunias, violas, snap dragons, impatiens, pansies, etc

Small/medium pots- $3.33
petunias, annual salvia, african daisies, gerber daisies, etc

Herbs- $1.99?
basil, oregano, rosemary, chives, thyme, cilantro, parsley, mint, sage, etc

Veggies- $0.99?
tomaotes (sweet millions, early girl, big boy, sweet olive); peppers (jalapeno, banana, red bell, yellow bell, green bell- forgot the varieties)

Roses- $8.98
at least two varieties of pink; maybe more

Perennials in small/medium pots- $3.33; now $1.98!
dianthus, perennial salvia, shasta daisies, soapwort, lavendar, creeping thyme, etc

Bushes- $9.99+
azalea, forsythia, taxus, l, hydrangea, lilac, etc

Trees- $29.99 and up?
crimson red, flowering plum, red plum, peatr arborvitae, alberta spruce, etc

Mulch- $1.99/ 2 cubic ft bag
cyrus & red (dark & red)

Also, have seen ...
irises, daylilies, hostas, spikes, alyssum, vince, ageratum, verbana, oleus, catmint, columbine, sweet potato vine, impatiens-New Guinea, foxglve, lphlox, lobelia, vinca vine, ivy, various ground covers, mixed pots, and many more ; potting soil, other gardening items (indoors)

Marc's Westerville is located on the southern side of Westerville just north of 270 & Rt.3/Westerville Road, in the the same outdoor "mall" as Kohls and Office Max. (Note: prices are even more reduced at the end of their plant sale; but this is never announced, and it's just whenever they quit getting plants... maybe late-ish May?)

Happy Shopping! :-)
