    They are pint pots and are $1.00 at Lowes. I like that. I got 30 of them. I am going to plant them all over my gardens before it rains for the next 3 days.

    Thanks donna in nc. That a shopper you are.

    Just checked our Lowes online, and here in Canada they are on for $2.24, regularly $2.98. We almost never see any plants for less than $1.00 here :(

    It is too early to plant ones that are blooming here. I am wondering if you cut the buds off they would bloom in October yet? I like mine to bloom later, I still have plants in my garden blooming.

    Poor Netty. Keep checking maybe they will have them. I do believe this sale was a special purchase by them. They are not just getting rid of the leftovers. They were fresh and not dried out and they had loads of them

    I will! I've been looking for affordable, small pots of Mums to freshen up the urns at work for fall.
    Eileen, I keep my Mums pinched back so they bloom later - I want the fall color for our Thanksgiving in October. Just keep pinching the buds off until a few weeks before you want the blooms.
