I bought a tray of winter pansies from B&M last autumn. Planted them in 4 hanging pots. They didn’t get much bigger, but flowers stayed all winter, so they looked nice. Over the last 2 weeks, as the weather picked up they have suddenly gone mad! Beginning to grow bigger and thicker, and the pansies have exploded! It looks like they’ll look lovely all through the summer. I think I paid about £3.50 for a tray of 12.

Mine are the same. Beautiful single colours and vari coloured. My favourite are the rusty coloured ones, and, of course, the purple.

I’ve been waiting for my local Lidl to get the little plants in as they used to, and I’ve had loads from there, but even when they’ve been in the leaflet, they haven’t arrived in this store - probably because head office knows how useless the staff are at keeping them alive and after a day or so indoors with no watering, they wilt and presumably get thrown out . I planted up a trough of primulas (I think) from there last year and would have re-planted it this year but the primulas suddenly came back to life a couple of weeks ago and look like new with no work at all - which delights me because I don’t know what I’m doing. Anyway, I am going to the retail park today and there’s a big B&Q so I shall check out their plants. I know you said B&M but it reminded me, thanks!

I always buy my plants from either Lidl, Aldi, B&M,etc. and have never been disappointed!

My poinsettia from Lidl bought at the beginning of December £2.99 is still going strong.
Our Lidl seems to have staff that know plants need watering
