This means the plant is Economy Grade or less than perfect. We also call these Seconds. These plants may have broken branches, are too tall or overgrown in the pot or mildly affected by a pest so they have been discounted accordingly. We recommend only seasoned gardeners or those who are wanting to try a cheap risk purchase these plants as they require tender loving care to be restored to their former glory.

We supply such plants to reduce waste from the supplier as these plants would often be tossed into a burn pile or into green waste. These plants also give the opportunity to the customer who needs cheap plants but can’t necessarily afford full priced options.
