They had pots done up with 'nine bark' a shrub as the tall item in the pot. Decided I would do this with my barrels. In the fall I will transplant the Nine Bark in my yard. Therefore get to recycle plants back into my yard.

I was at Costco this morning, and I think that every shopper except for me had a hanging basket or five in their carts. Oh my.
I did pick up some hostas in a bag, though. I was just reading about hosta viruses...I'm now hesitant to plant them as I fear they'll have it, too.

Love hostas. Parents use to have hostas too. Easy to grow and maintain and great curb appeal. Plus Costco's stock comes from a reputable grower.

Were the bagged bulbs are on clearance?

@dizzyb did you happen to see if they have those big hibiscus trees out? I usually get my mom one for Mother's Day but I've been waiting closer to the day in hopes they have a good selection.

I'm sorry, @bargain_hunter_lola I didn't look. I was hoping to find herbs (they didn't have any yet), and my tunnel vision prevented me from noticing anything else. :/
@SavvyLady Some of the hostas varieties had 8 plants (like Sum and Substance). Same price mentioned by Shwa Girl, $14.99.

No, they weren't on clearance ($14.99), which is unusual for me who never pays full price for anything LOL! I've had hostas before, but I purchased those potted. So this is somewhat new territory for me. I had read somewhere that the bulbs only last for a few weeks once bagged...I didn't want to risk waiting too long.

Thanks for the update. Our package from costco.ca arrived today. Each had a little plant peeking up. Will put them in pots to get them started and "baby" them.

Thanks for the pics. That's a nice garden center -- have not seen some of those plants in Oshawa. And of course, the parking lot is full

this is the BC garden center... they might differ by province (i would not be surprised if they do... some flowers grow better in different environments and i can see them catering to that)

I thought some more about the hosta viruses. I think when you split an existing mature hosta plant in the Spring and don't clean the shovels between, that's how the virus can spread. I think that if the shovels/tools are cleaned in a dilute bleach solution, rinsed and dried before next use, the chances of spreading the virus decreases.
