You may not have seen the state of plants in the likes of Homebase.

I definitely have not. Thanks for clarifying.

They offer buy & die plants for sale sometimes already dead before they
leave the shop. It isn't unusual to see trolley loads of plants dying
for lack of water in these places. No point in reasoning with them!

Okay. That kind of shop.

That said there are sometimes (rarely) bargains to be had.

Like the 50 leeks we got for a bargain price at « Point Vert ». We've
planted all 35 in one aftern... wait.
