At this time of year, you can find some great deals on many garden items. Even a lot of the hard goods are often on sale as nurseries try to make room for all their holiday stuff to go out on the floor.
If you are looking for some nice perennials to put in now, there is a local garden center called Carolina Gardens (4027 Randleman Rd Greensboro, NC 27406 (336) 275-6826). They still had a good selection when I went by a couple of days ago.
I've been looking for good deals on drought-tolerant plants. There were some really nice choices at this nursery.
We got several rosemary and thyme plants at $1.75 per one-quart pot (since they've had the summer to grow, they are really full). There was a lot of lavender, daisies, lambs ear, heuchera, etc. So, nothing too rare, but beautiful & healthy specimens.
I also found some great golden carpet sedum in larger 8" pots for $4.75. They are so vigorous. The owner was telling me how he'd started my plants from seedlings that had been coming up thru the pavement beside a display. So, I bought 2 and have already split one seven ways from Sunday.
