A month ago I bought three 'berry swirl' 5.98 in gallon pots! on the mercy shelf.

Wow, I want one are they heat tolerant?

Last week I went to Lowe's and got 5 of Salvia 'Heatwave Blaze' in one-gallon pots that were on sale for $3.33 each. They were originally $5.98 each. This week I went to Lowe's and they were out of them, but I did find 2 Heuchera 'Paris' plants in one or two gallon pots for $11 or $12 each.

Ooooh, you did good!!

Yep and as I figured they were out of stock on that Primula so they will be shipping them to me in the fall

I got some Bartzella Peonies at Lowes for 8 dollars yesterday on clearance. I also got Pink Hawaiian Coral Peony for 8 dollars!

Pink Hawaiian sounds like a good desert!



I had to send Bluestone an email today. The order did not come, I reread my confirmation and no tracking number and by the time I got home they were closed. They have an 800 number on their website but you can only call 9-4 on Saturday. I told them about the two shrubs that died and sent pictures. I am very sad that the order is siting on a hot truck somewhere, it has been in the upper 80's the last three days. (to be continued)

I'm sure they will make it good for you but it is hard to have it happen.

What a bummer Susan, but no doubt they will take care of you.

"Pink Hawaiian sounds like a good desert!" Yummy too!

I don't grow Peonies, but it sounds like you got a good deal too! What size pots were they in?

Susan

I hope everything goes well for you regarding your plants and Bluestone. Hopefully, you'll hear back tomorrow!

These look like larger than gallon pots. They all have seed pods so they are already blooming size!

Thank you Marilyn!

I finally got my order tonight. Our UPS does not deliver on the weekends and we have been in the low 90's for the past few days. The plants were still moist just slightly cooked. See pictures on Mail Orders Thread.

Since we're talking about plants from Lowe's....

I went there this afternoon and noticed that they had Agastaches in 1-gallon pots!

They looked fresh, nice and looked like they had just gotten them today. The plant tag stated that they "were" 'Red Fortune', but since the flowers were orange, I knew they weren't 'Red Fortune', but 6 of them jumped into my cart! They were priced at $5.98 each. I just couldn't resist!

Whoohoo!

Lowes has really improved the past couple of years. I got a Campanula 'Sarastro' there yesterday too.

I got an email from Bluestone and they are shipping me a replacement order free of charge! Oh, Noooooooooooooo!! I did not want them to replace the whole order!!!!!

Are you sure they are replacing the complete order?

Email them back tonight and tell them which plants you want replaced.
