Garden centers, home improvement centers, grocery stores, department stores and any other location that sales plants or flowers always have a tremendous markdown on plants at the end of the summer. This is an ideal time to spend very little on plants that can add beauty to your outdoor space or the interior of your home throughout fall and winter and beyond.
With sufficient lighting, various types of ivy and ferns will thrive indoors. You can grow a beautiful herb garden at a well-lit kitchen window or on a kitchen island or counter. Some ornamental grass can survive a mild winter outdoors. Late blooming summer plants can remain attractive well into late autumn or early winter in some areas. Summer annuals can be potted and placed in decorative containers to liven up your indoor decor for quite some time.
A little TLC and creativity is all you need to make these deeply discounted plants a beautiful part of your indoor or outdoor design.

You are so right! I have gotten some great deals at the big box garden cener this time of year on lots of plants. Even if they are annuals, you still have a few months to enjoy them and they really can perk up your garden just when it is looking a bit tired!
