New plants Delivery at B&M. Plant shopping with me, Hints & tips along the way #bargain #gardening

Welcome everyone, in today's video we're going to head to B&M and we're going to check out the brand new delivery of plants. So as always we're going to check out the names, the prices, I'm going to give you a little bit of a care guide as well and they've got some really really lovely stuff in at the moment. So without further ado let's get into today's video. So before we get into it it's worth mentioning I'm only going to go through the new stock and this is my local store in Fenton, Stoke-on-Trent. So we'll start off with these Cattle Lilies also known as Xanthidesia, Xanthidesia, aren't they really pretty? Now I've actually got a white one in my garden and it comes back every single year but traditionally the sole is more of a house plant. I couldn't tell you whether the colours the coloured ones actually do come back, I only know for a fact that the white ones come back because they come back in my garden. So moving on then we've got some Hydrangeas for £12.50. Now no set colours on these so it's a little bit of a gamble as to what colour you are going to get. Now whether you get a blue one requires an ericaceous compost, if you get either a white or a pink that does require a multi-purpose. Known as a deciduous shrub meaning it drops all of its leaves over the winter period. Now this is a lovely rockery plant called Oxalis, a variety called Sunny. These purple leaves are absolutely fantastic and they are very hardy, again bit of a deciduous plant or perennial should I say meaning it won't look like that year round but it will come back every year. Moving on to Salvias then £6.50. Now Salvias are really easy to take cuttings from, you can just simply cut them off and drop them straight into water to multiply your collection. This is a really lovely variety and they're well stocked up for it as well. Then we have some Heuchera, now I think this is a variety called Crimson Curls but I could be wrong it looks very similar to that. This is an evergreen little shrub and it doesn't get too big, it looks lovely in any style garden. Then moving on we've got some English Lavender, now these are really good size for the price, they smell absolutely beautiful, £6.50 I feel like they're a pretty fair deal, very hardy. I always plant them in a sunny spot with well-drained soil to get the best results. Moving on then we've got some Lilies, now these are absolutely massive for the price, loaded with buds. Now it's worth mentioning you should go in a well-drained soil in order for the bulbs to come back every single year. They're only £10 for the size of them, now it's worth checking the tops of the plants because a few buds can either drop off or get knocked off, so some plants will have more buds than others. They are classes of perennial, the bulb will come back every year, just don't keep it too wet over winter. So moving on we've got some smaller ones then, the hardy Lilies, now these are a pretty decent price £4.50. There's three bulbs in each pot and that's the large ones and these smaller ones. As you can see there we've just got the one bud on the right hand side, so if you check the stock you will see some have more than others as mentioned and they've got a couple of different colours as well. All very healthy here on delivery day in my local B&M. So one of my favourites, Salix Flamingos, this is probably the cheapest I have seen it for just £10. Now these are actually grafted onto a different plant meaning it's got a different root stock to the actual head of the plant. This lush foliage is bright pink this time of year and it's a deciduous shrub or tree meaning it will drop all of its leaves over winter. But it has beautiful marble like variegated leaves and we've got smaller ones just here for £4 and I think they're £3 for £10 as well which is a pretty decent deal for those. So moving on then for £5 we've got some Dahlias, now these darker leafed ones are an absolute beaut, make a beautiful cut flower. These will die back to tuber which is a lot like a bulb and some actually do come back which you leave them in your garden over winter, some do some don't but you can dry them out. Strawberries then £4 for a six pack look pretty healthy, £5 for £5 for the tomatoes and I'm not gonna lie brand new delivery these are absolutely tiny. Now there is other stores which you will see them a lot bigger but they're a lot more expensive as well I think tomato plants in the range shocked me as the price of them and they've got some traditional varieties in here as well. So we've got some Bidens moving on to the summer bedding we've got a lovely peach verbena now these are all in the offer £1.50 or £5 for £5 which I think is a really good offer just bear in mind it's pretty cold tonight and any frost will see either an end to your to your summer bedding or they'll make them look pretty unhealthy for the next few weeks moving on to the season. Now Peter was the last one just a beautiful trailing plant but again all of these bedders will need some form of protection from the frost. These what we call non-stop begonias now these are fantastic they love it shady you can actually save these over winter into like a little corm like a bulb and they come back every year but they are a little bit tricky mainly just sold as a summer bedder but they are fantastic and then we've got some osteospornums in packs these are classed as a perennial although I haven't managed for these to come back in my garden but a lot of people on the chat have said that they come back every year in their garden and then we've got some more just there as well and some of the cell trays are planted a little bit high for me but that's just a small bug bear doesn't make any difference to the quality of life to the plant. So we've got some more non-stops so these are a trailing variety of begonia again they love the shade and they're brilliant in hanging baskets and troughs and they flower their socks off all summer and if you've got quite a shady garden then these are definitely for you. So we've got some million bells then which are fantastic so two for £12 these again summer bedder flower the socks off when the first frosts are here these will be done. We've got a lot of petunias in stock which are like trailing variety of a sun loving bedding plant and then this is just a different variety of the million bells actually really quite like this something a little bit different again just a summer bedder and then we've got geraniums which geraniums are absolute sun loving plant don't mind it too dry either so if you're full of neglect when it comes to gardening geraniums are a really good shout worth mentioning they're all in a mix and match offer so that's really good value and then we've got the 20 packs for £3.50 of the safinias just there for the mixed safinias and then we've got the busy lizzies just there as well also known as the impassions which busy lizzies are my favourite one of my favourites and I say I say that a lot but again just classed as a summer bedder. Moving around then we'll start with this lobelia again these are all £3.50 but no offer on these but there's a 20 in a pack which I feel are pretty good value for 20 plants and then we've got some French marigolds which you can do some companion planting with your vegetables and there you can also eat those flowers and then we've got some more lobelia there now it does say whether it's trailing so we've got some dwarf stocks same price stocks are highly scented make beautiful cut flowers and then we've got some more lobelia there this is the trailing variety as you can see they're stocked up really well another trolley of exactly the same as what we've just looked at so they're obviously hoping for a very busy weekend and then we've got the fuchsias £3.00 or £3.00 for £6.00 feel a half decent price you can actually overwinter these in like a summer house or windowsill and they'll come back if you leave them out in the garden some varieties can come back but really classed as an annual but they have some really lovely varieties and again these are in a mix and match offer so half decent value and then we've got some more draniums in the same offer draniums are sun loving fuchsias are part sun part shade so depending on what kind of spot you think about putting it in which one will do better so moving down then if you guys have watched the channel you'll know i'm mad about these pink kisses brand new variety to 2016 again same offer £3.00 £3.00 for £6.00 flower the socks off classed as a semi evergreen so if you're in a miles part of the UK they'll keep all of the leaves and then we're on the final trolley on the front before we get into the back or breccia £4.00 for £10.00 pretty decent or breccia is a perennial very hardy looks great in a rockery and they flower the socks off from early spring right the way through and then we've got some phlox again in the same offer £4.00 for £10.00 these have like a little pink and white flower really nice ideal for a rockery something like quite a low grower but fully hardy and louisia doesn't like it too wet in fact you could almost plant this in full sand and it would love it but they have a really special flower just give it a little bit of frost protection as it can hurt the crown of the plant so moving around the back one of the stars of the show for me is these primulas they're absolutely fantastic now these are in the offer so these have got £3.00 or £3.00 for £6.00 but just look how pretty those are and i'm only guessing but i'm guessing the bees will absolutely love these in your garden what a lovely variety that i've actually stumbled across now these are a little bit different to the norm that normally happens after the bedders the primroses and primula bedders are actually finished and they're a perennial variety so they'll come back every single year so moving on we've got some perennial salvias and also some lupins we've got a few different varieties of lupins now if you get lupins through the first year or so then they'll be absolutely fantastic in your garden i just tend to struggle with slugs in mine where i tend to put a few beer traps out so we've got some standard fuchsias or fuchsias on a stem as the labels now these are pretty decent size for the actual price loaded with buds you can keep these in pots plant them in the ground just need a multi-purpose compost and again part sun part shade or they'd actually do okay in full shade but you don't get as many flowers so they've actually had a delivery of passion flowers now these are a really decent price for just £6.50 so the pasiflora is the latin for passion flower these are the traditional variety and they are really quite lovely and they've got very healthy growth points as you can see at the top they're deciduous they are classed as hardy but i haven't had much luck in my garden overwintering a passion flower i never have um so let me know down below moving on though i absolutely love this now this is a variegated almost like marble like leaf pattern absolutely beautiful lenisera which is the latin for the honeysuckle so that's really quite lovely £6.50 i think that is a brilliant find and then more £6.50 honeysuckles and got a couple of different colors from whites to pinks really lovely deciduous drop the leaves but they're fully hardy so you won't have any issues seeing these through winter so they've got a few really lovely hostas £6.50 fantastic size for the price i don't think it quite does it justice justice how big this is for £6.50 i know some garden centers for £6.50 you get something half the size so quality's fantastic now these are bamboos the variety i'm unsure whether it's a runner or clumper so i think i'd recommend putting it in a pot as opposed to planting it in the ground as you can see very healthy new new shoots actually appearing these are absolutely massive for £30 i think you get a lot for your money just bear in mind i think i'd probably go for a pot over the ground due to clumpers versus runners so we've got some lovely standard roses £15 feel like it's a half decent price absolutely loaded with buds a lot of fresh growth on them very very healthy so i actually really like these they look brilliant in a cottage style garden along with my roses then we've got a few different varieties of cordlines and so this variety is called a pico so it's got like a lovely red center not sure about the hardiness i've only ever really got the green ones through our uk winters then we've got a red heart which is as you can see a bit more red in the center very pretty though i'm not sure the hardiness because like i said i've never managed to get anything other than a green one through our uk winters now moving on we have some clisterman also known as the bottle brush that is very hardy i've never managed to keep one but it is hardy nevertheless there we have it so today's date is the 13th of may now i don't know if you guys can just make out we can actually see my breath it's actually gone that cold so just keep an eye on your weather make sure there's no frost locally to you and then you will be able to plant out your summer bedders fingers crossed very very soon if you did enjoy it and you got something from it then please give it a big thumbs up as it really does help the channel out and drop a comment down
