So am I the only one that finds Lowes rather disengenuous? They market plants for pollinators, but sell plants from nurseries using neonics. They put the following on their own website for humminbirds:

?..BUT...is that in keeping with their own plant stock? Sure doesn't seem like it.
I say this because they had clearly taken enough heat over neonics that they felt the need to phase them out. So, they did a press release in 2015 stating they would phase them out...IN 2019!!!...and only as long as a suitable substitute manifest.
Lowes could easily be my favorite box store...not just for hardware but garden as well. Their employees, at least in my area stores, are clearly head and shoulders above their competitors, and terrifically helpful and informed in general. However, their neonic "policy", if you can call it that, seems inneffective at best and a major deterrent. I'd write that last part more pointed and less carefully worded but I think y'all get the thrust.
I hate to single them out but as they are head and shoulders above the competition, I guess I just expect more.
Troubling for anyone else?
