Seedfork said:I think people realize a plant comes from a seed. So they feel they are paying a lot for a sprouted seed. ... Too, a lot of us have bought plants that never made it though a single year, and it often seems the more expensive the plant, the shorter the life span of that plant.

Fortunately, I fixated early on "grow my own from seed". I'll occasionally be tempted by plants at a nursery, but I can buy and trade for a HUGE variety of seeds for t6he price of a FEW plants.

Between being very cheap, and wanting to know that I grew MY plants from SEED, my budget goes into soil conditioners instead of celebrity cultivars. (But some of those cloned plants ARE pretty!)
