WANT to spruce up your garden without breaking the bank?
Look no further than for a bargain buy you’ll love and will add a stunning burst of colour to your outdoor space.
The potted sunflower plant is just £2.99 – but you’ll have to act fast if you want to get your hands on one.
This comes after one savvy shopper took to the popular group Aldi Shoppers UK to show off her find.
“I saw loads of people walking into Aldi with one of these in their trolleys.
“They looked so sunny and cheerful I just had to get one,”; she wrote.
According to the bargain hunter, as she was walking up and down the aisles multiple people came up to her for a chat, all because of the sunflower.
“When I was walking round the shop four or five people came up to me smiling and admiring the plant and had a chat.
“I’m sure Aldi didn’t intend for the sunflowers to evoke a social morning but that’s how it felt,”; she said.
But the happy blooms might not be on shelves for long, as the shopper warned fellow Facebook users.
“The manager who served me said they had sold a huge amount and there wouldn’t be any left by the end of the day and I’m not surprised,”; she explained.
It turns out other Aldi shoppers also got their hands on the bright blooms too as one wrote: “I picked one up from Aldi today too!”;
“Fingers crossed and there will still some tomorrow morning! I always think they make you feel bright,”; a second commented on the post.
A third added: “Beautiful and such a bargain, I’ve bought a plant as well, lots of flower buds on it.”;
“I got two this morning, gorgeous,”; someone else chimed in.
And another had a money-saving suggestion for the Aldi shopper, they said: “Make sure you save some seeds and grow your own next year.”;
HOW TO CARE FOR SUNFLOWERS
Sunflowers bloom from until , so you can enjoy their cheery colour for weeks to come.
Although perennial sunflowers will return year on year, annual types will die after they flower and set seed.
You can keep your sunflower in its pot, but if you want to grow them high it’s a good idea to move them into the ground.
“Sunflower plants are heavy feeders, so make sure you water the pots regularly (daily in hot weather) and feed fortnightly with a nitrogen-rich fertiliser, switching to a high-potash fertiliser, such as a tomato feed, when the plants begin to bloom,”; the pros at Gardeners World said.
