    Well I was in Lowe's yesterday buying a new hose and I saw the markdown section of plants. So I grabbed a sad looking 2.5qt Verbena that was reduced to $3. So I am giving it a shot. I will post a pick when I get home later.

    Here's the pic of my Verbena

    I love deals on plants but not good at ones if they are doing poorly. Good luck with the verbena. I am trying to stay away from anywhere that sells plants, I have so many and I positively have enough...

    Well the Verbena has been planted. After some plant food and regular watering it's doing pretty good.

    That's going to be a humdinger. Doesn't it feel good to save something and save money to boot??

    A High Five to a fellow plant rescuer!!! I get rejects and orphans from customers gardens, and give them a fighting chance. It is very satisfying!
