The German supermarket has tons of border plants, trees and flowers in their Roots & Bloom range – and you could get change from £2.

Posting on the Garden Makeover on a Budget Facebook group which boasts 429,000 members, green-fingered shopper Lorna shared a snap of some £1.89 plants on sale.

She said: “These are in Aldi now, an absolute bargain if you’re staying put for the next couple of years.”

Lorna picked up clematis, honeysuckle, sweet pea, jasmine and lavatera all for £1.89 each.

All climbing plants, the cheap buys can add vertical beauty to you garden.

Twining climbers such as clematis like to wind around a trellis or other supporting structure while scented climbers like jasmine and honeysuckle are great for an arch or arbour.

And other gardening fans are raving over the bargain Aldi plants.

“Must get some of these, look how cheap”, said one.

A second admitted: “Went in for one today and walked out with a trolley full of other plants not on my list.”

A third exclaimed: “Blimey bargains galore, wow.” 

“I’ve had these, they smell gorgeous. I’m grabbing some tomorrow”, chimed in a fourth.

Someone else echoed: “I’ve bought an amazing amount of shrubs/plants from Aldi…give them time and they will repay you.”

Meanwhile, a sixth wrote: “I planted two of the Asda version during lockdown and they have done so well. Flower each year and get bigger and bigger.”
