Gee, I wonder why our Lowes never has plants for $1.00??? Everything on their clearance racks are always dead or pretty near dead and they still ask way to much $$ for them. I rarely ever find anything good for cheap at Lowes, or HD for that matter ... guess I'm shopping in the wrong state. Unfortunately none of the big box stores garden centers here (Lowes, Home Depot, WalMart) take great care of their plants. I think they put them out in hopes of quick turn over but they either get watered too much to the point of floating in water or they don't get watered at all and sit out and scorch in the Florida sun ... then they put them on the clearance rack and only mark them 1/2 off but it's still way to much to pay to try to revive half dead plants. Last year I did get 2 Daylilies for a couple of bucks from a WalMart clearance rack and a little basket of half dead succulents at Lowes that I was able to revive but for the most part the clearance plants always look too bad for me to spend my money on. Now, if they were marked down to a dollar I'd probably take a chance and buy more of them.
