last modified: 7 years ago

I went to Lowe's..bought 6 plants for $8..Autumn Frost and Valentine bleeding heart were each $2..2 Elegans, a coleus and "Firn Line" (typo?) were $1 each..there's a Texas Roadhouse near Lowe's so I got hubby a filet to go..he's in hog heaven in a recliner watching golf in a cool comfortable house..pics below..

    also had a salad and rolls..just a salad for me..
    I didn't have an Autumn Frost..
    I'm going to look up this name..should it be Fine Line?..

    OMG Lowe's clearance is my favorite! I'm so green with envy.

    No it is Firn Line. Great deal for you and hubby!

    popmama..I agree..Lowe's is great..

    peren..well..showing again my lack of knowledge of hosta names!..I read the definition of firn line (very quickly)..refers to zone differences of ice in a glacier..now the name is more interesting to me..

    Well, looks like it’s DEAL season for you! The bargains just keep on coming : )

    You better show us where these beauties end up! Anywhere near your other big beauties?

    My Lowes never marks down plants that low. Good timing for you to get them. Your Firn Line is bigger than the one I got through mail order. Mine reverted and even though I separated the pieces, it never looked like Firn Line again. I would love to see yours do well because it has such great potential to be a real looker.


    I'm glad your hubby is happy, too. :-)

    I know where I'm headed tomorrow morning before it reaches 100 tomorrow.

    Same with me, Jon. I'm going to go scope out the good Lowe's and maybe a couple of the others. I did get a very nice Sum and Substance on clearance there for $3 a few weeks ago and I bought a full price (was $8) GE there last week. But a $1 hosta? Come on! That's too much temptation.

    oursteelers..Autumn Frost was on my wishlist..

    sandyslopes..I was surprised to see $1 hostas in the summer!..annuals yes but a hosta?..an employee was putting the stickers on as I walked down the aisle..there was just one Autumn Frost and one Firn Line..my timing was perfect..

    don..I would be happier with a burger too!..I meant to get hubby a steak sooner but I finally did it!..

    Jon..hope you find some deals!..

    popmama..these hosta today were unusually low..$3 IS more common..if I was at Lowe's 5 minutes later I bet those hosta would've been gone..

    What great deals you hit on! I love Firn Line! Right now I have my maps out trying to decide what is going to be moved, given away and where to plant the 5 I have in pots. I am really trying to give it some thought instead of being so willy-nilly about it. :-)

    djacob..I can't wait to see Firn Line next year..fresh and beautiful!..I do decide carefully where to plant something but most of the time I buy the plant first..THEN look for the perfect location..I agree that "some thought" is better than "willy-nilly"..

    i actually wondered if you would do such... to complete the story.. and you did .. love it

    ken..I don't accomplish what I want as fast as I want but eventually I make it happen..it was funny when I said "wait don't eat that yet I need to take a picture!"..

    $4 each and nothing I was remotely interested in here. Bummer.

    Jon..awww sorry..it's better to wait for something special..

  • 7 years ago

    You're one lucky girl!

    newhostalady..my plant total could be the lowest ever for a season!..I used overwintered tropicals..clearance annuals.."free if you dig" hostas..$1 and $2 hosta..will probably never top this summer's deals..

  • 7 years ago

    Wow, great deals. I picked up a Valentine Bleeding Heart at our Lowes clearance for $5. Perhaps I should have waited.

  • 7 years ago

    steve..I love something my husband said years ago..so simple and true..he said "you can't get the lowest price on everything you buy"..when we get a deal great!..a fair price great..then sometimes to get something you really want you have to pay more than you want..
