As any Aldi fan can tell you, the retailer is much more than just a store. For example, you can score great deals on popular plants as the gardening season ramps up again with your kitchen essentials. This week, Aldi is selling 6” azalea and hydrangea plants in a variety of colors for just $8.49 each.
TikTok creator @aldi.mademedoit exclaimed the discovery in a recent video, in which she went through this week’s Aldi Finds, aka the limited-time items the store has each week.
“I really love these flowers,” she said on TikTok. “I’m thinking of getting a few for my front porch, especially around Easter.”
Product images show pink azaleas and pink and blue varieties of hydrangeas, but plant availability will likely vary depending on what your Aldi location is offering that day. Unfortunately, the plants aren’t currently available for collection or delivery from Aldi’s online shopping website, so you’ll need to head down to your local store if you’re hoping to pick one up for yourself. Pro tip: The plant’s product code is 707839.
If a trip to Aldi isn’t an option for you, you can order a similar azalea plant from Plants.com starting at $39.99. While this is certainly a higher price, the store ships directly to your home and ships potted plants. You can order a similar hydrangea plant from Walmart for $14.97.
When it comes to caring for your plants, make sure to give your hydrangeas plenty of water – especially if they are newly planted. We recommend that you plant your hydrangea in a sufficiently large planter that is made of non-porous material and has adequate drainage holes. Meanwhile, azalea plants do best in partial to full sunlight and acidic, well-draining soil that is kept consistently moist.
