Posting on the BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, one bargain hunter shared a snap of her garden buy.
Julia said alongside the snap: “Fabulous snapdragons, Antirrhinum, 20 in a pack for £2.99 at Home Bargains.”
This works out at just 15p per plant.
Unsurprisingly, Julia was so impressed with her find that she picked up two packs.
Antirrhinums are cheerful annual plants, guaranteed to brighten up flower borders and containers.
Commonly known as snapdragons, they are hailed by garden experts as easy-to-grow, old-fashioned cottage garden plants, beloved by children and bees.
They come in a variety colours and heights, and therefore can be grown in a variety of situations.
According to Gardeners’ World, they have a long flowering period, from June until October.
Top gardening trends of 2025
Gardening experts at Barnsdale Gardens has shared the top gardening trends of 2025.
Matrix planting
It seems that a top planting trend for this year is going to be Matrix Planting.
In essence, planting in groups or blocks to give an effect of being wild whilst actually being carefully managed.
Selection of the plants is essential, to give year-round interest either with flowers, seed heads or frosted/snowy spent flower heads. Some recommend using plants that seed around, but this could make managing your matrix planting harder to keep under control.
Chrysanthemum comeback
I hope that the humble Chrysanthemum makes as much of a comeback this year as Dahlias have over recent years, because the simple single flowered types, such as ‘Innocence’ and ‘Cottage Apricot’ would be spectacular within a matrix scheme.
The hardy varieties are so easy to grow in a sunny spot and give such a valuable burst of late summer and autumn colour that would lift any dull- looking border.
Blended borders
For some time now we have been promoting the growing of veg within ornamental borders and I think this could really take off this year.
The choice of ornamental-looking varieties available in seed catalogues is phenomenal and, if managed correctly, visitors to your garden will not even realise that you have veg growing!
Must-have tool
My secret is out. I discovered the Hori Hori a couple of years ago and now it seems so is everyone else.
It is such a well-made, adaptable tool that can be used as a trowel or weeding tool in the garden that and everyone I speak to who have used it absolutely would not now be without it. Enough said!
