Much of it depends on how well each particular store (e.g. Lowes, HD, etc)
cares for their plants and how long the plants you are buying have been
there. I have bought many Monrovia grown plants (common at nurseries) right
off the truck at Lowes and/or HD and have had great luck with them. And
just to be an ass, I'd like to remind you that you should never end a
sentence in "at" or any other preposition.

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has experience in buying shrubs or perennials at a
place like lowes verses a nursery. The stuff I see at nurseries is about
twice as expensive, but looks much healthier.

Should I stick with a nursery? Where do you buy plants at?
