We bought all of our plants on the May long weekend, which is generally considered here to be the “gardening weekend”.That’s when the nurseries and big box stores had all their blowout deals for the season on and we were able to get a lot of good basic plants for a steal.
The big box stores don’t typically have the selection that the nurseries do, but they do have some great prices.I prefer to shop early in the season, rather than at the end of the season because the plants are usually in better shape and I get to watch how they’re doing for the rest of the Summer.
Shopping during that one weekend when all the deals happen allows me to still get a great price.. Buy what everyone else has or what you’ve used before and you know works well..
