I find myself looking at clearance racks more often these days, especially after I discovered I can easily make them into beautiful plants for a fraction of the original price. All it takes is a little tender loving care.

They are great for replacing the dead or overgrown succulents from your priced succulent collection planters. ©by Gigi Plumeria "Gardening is my favorite past time.

Thank you . I just learned that these are Flower carpet roses "amber" and "scarlet". I googled these and the blooms are gorgeous! ©by Gigi Plumeria "Gardening is my favorite past time.

Yes, clearance racks are a good source of plants. In the fall or late summer, I look there for dormant plants. One other shopper asked me why I was buying "dead" plants. She did not believe me when I said it would be fine in the spring. \| Quote \| Post #785219 (12)

Correct😍😍and depending on the plant type, you could get more plants in late summer or fall to divide and replant. ©by Gigi Plumeria "Gardening is my favorite past time.

I can't believe that at 2 years old, my clearance rack daisy is still blooming like crazy. And it multiplied into several clumps. They are happy so am not touching them. ©by Gigi Plumeria "Gardening is my favorite past time. I grow whatever plant that catches my attention."
