How the discount works
Reductions are shown as marked prices rather than applied through a code, and the 20% categories carry an asterisk pointing to promotional terms, so individual varieties may sit outside the offer. Three separate strands run alongside: a summer overstocks section clearing surplus nursery plants, plant and compost multibuys, and a last chance to buy list covering plants and garden products. Crocus applies a five year guarantee to its hardy plants, which changes the value calculation on the more expensive shrubs.

Worth it?
September is the right moment to buy hardy plants rather than a compromise, because autumn planting gives roots a full cool season to establish, so 40% off roses now beats the same discount in spring. The shrubs at 20% are a thinner saving — about £5 on a £25 hydrangea — worth taking if the plant was already on the list, not a reason to buy. The strongest case is summer overstocks and last chance, where the cuts are driven by the nursery needing space rather than a marketing calendar. Check pot size before comparing prices: a 9cm lavender at £6.39 and a 2 litre shrub at £20.63 are very different plants, and the smaller pots take another season to fill out.
