Looking for tips on where to buy bedding plants. I usually buy from the supermarket which has been successful in the past but this year they are all awful.
Also is it too late to buy begonias? TIA.

Jay, I buy bedding plants from Lidl or Aldi.
Bought some last week from both stores.
No, it's not too late for begonias.
Dont know if you have a Lidl or Aldi storenear you.
Sorry I cant be more helpful.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Thanks bramble. We have a Lidl near us but they really only had geraniums which looked as though they were on their last legs. We got amazing begonias in Asda last year but so far they’ve not had any in so thought I’d missed them. Even their plants looked bedraggled. I never understand why supermarkets let this happen, they must lose a lot of money.sigpicComment

Facebook marketplace often has plants for sale and crocus.co.uk currently has 50% off bedding.Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!
Always aim for the best result possible not the best possible result

Thanks guys!
My mum in law called to say that B&M had just got fresh begonias in so I’ve taken the chance, £3.50 for 20 decent plants. Never bought plants from them before so we will see how it goes!
Markets are something you don’t see much here, love having a wander through them when we are in England.sigpicComment
