Prices vary a lot according to location, staff numbers, size of nursery etc.
but mostly, plants are sold in pots measured in litres except for 9cm, 10cm.
I'm guessing those were 10cm pots. I think that's quite expensive, myself
and that she should look around your area to see if she can do better.
Lavenders seem to have been very popular over the last couple of years but
we've been selling them for £3.50 in 2l pots and have little to no stock for
sale at present, as a result! A 2l pot is about 17cm across the top.



Well this was at Chenies plant fair, which is just 5 minutes down the
road but mortally expensive!!
We do have Farnham Common nurseries nearby who supply other garden
centres so i think she'll try there.

The Plant fair was good, quite a lot of stalls but generally about 20
different herbaceous plants set in different arrangements on different
stalls!
Hardly any shrubs or trees or vegetables.
Saw Rose hardy and had a chat about the lack of variety but as she
pointed out, that's what's in flower at this time of year and buyers
want flowers not the promise of even better in 2 months or God forbid a
year!
We went round the gardens etc. (it's at Chenies manor) and were
dumbstruck by the sunken garden, it had so many dahlias, cosmos,
petunias and other bedding stuff you couldn't move! This was in a
technicolour mix of pink, red, white a bit of yellow and pale blue.
Not our cup of tea at all but plenty of admiring visitors behind us
remarking how clever it was and how much work.
All we could see was a vast empty set of beds come the autumn!
