i bought gorgeous oriental lilies ( love story ) in decorative pots for $ 4.00 that only had a couple frost bit leaves on them original price was 18 bucks . they had the same lilly in 1 gallon nursery pot's marked down to $ 2.50 . of course i went for the pretty pots . i also got some moss that was $ 9.00 for a six pack but i found several packs on the clearance rack for $ 2.00 because one small corner had turned brown . then i turned the corner and found another set of clearance racks a couple isles over near the fencing and got trailing pansy's in 1/2 gallon pots for $ 1.00 and daisies for $ 1.25 for a 4 inch pot . early spring is great because they jump the gun on getting plants in to soon . the more unpredictable your weather is the better chance of getting great deals .
