I live in Florida. I have a large property and it is mostly shady due to trees.

If you want inexpensive plants, eBay is the best place! I have bought many perennials and house plants there. The quality is just as good but the prices are a lot less than at the big box stores.
Most of the plant sellers on eBay have nurseries, so you are cutting out multiple middlemen.
Also, I like get many plants from friends, families and neighbors. Take a walk around your neighborhood, if you see a beautiful plant, ask the owner if they wouldn't mind sharing a piece... most people are glad to share.

Walmart, Lowe's and Home Depot sell flats of 6, 12 and 24 in many varieties. Just check the tag to see if it is sun or shade loving. The prices run from around $3 to $10. A few flats of flowers, in 2 or 3 different heights, a few bags of mulch and Voila! instant flower bed. Try Sweet Allysum. It spreads well, flowers all year and is very colorful. If one starts to get leggy just pull it out and in a few days new seedlings will start to sprout. Each plant will grow about a foot wide. Happy gardening!

i am going to point an decision: Why purchase once you will get for tremendous flora for loose? between the finest flora to propagate is Forsythia. both get a tremendous piece of the basis of a growing to be piece of stem. this stuff root themselves! (recalls a verbal substitute with a nursery proprietor who laughed at those who offered 'em at the same time as there turned right into a wide over grown Forsythia in the course of the line.) the following is a short record of panorama flora that are bullet info ordinary to strengthen. both commence in water or moist potting soil Butterfly Bush Bamboo Ivy Mint Myrtle Geraniums Impatience Lilacs from root (i am going to admit to once taking a spider plant reducing from a large field save or slightly of pythos...) some human beings take seeds from city gardens... reliable success and satisfied searching once you should purchase some thing, you should ask for a chit if the plant in question seems a touch beat up.

I have ordered my plants on-line and have bought them at local stores mentioned. I have had equal success with both. Some mail ordering is inexpensive. Those are the ones that ship bare root. I do not order any that is shipped in pots. The shipping is outrageous. You will find better variety if you shop catalogs on line. Local stores only purchase what is popular.

I get all my plants from Lowes or Home Depot. Watch for the clearance area for plants in need of a little attention

Home Depot helped me out when I too was looking for inexpensive plants... not bad quality too... 8 months later all still alive and no disease showing in them.

I found that home depot was the best on price and variety. I live in N Y. so it might be different in Florida.

local farmer's markets usually have cheap plants. My parents also buy plants at Lowe's and at farm supply stores. I'm not sure if there are any of these near you...
