On this episode we\u2019re daring to dream big and talking about which plants we\u2019d be willing to spend an entire paycheck on. We\u2019re calling these coveted gems, Splurge Plants. A hefty price tag isn\u2019t the only way a plant can make this list, though.\xa0 It could be a plant that\u2019s not hardy to our particular zone but we\u2019d be willing to set up a heater by its side all winter just to have it in our gardens. Other selections made our list because we\u2019ve seen it, drooled over it, but haven\u2019t had the opportunity to add it to the garden lineup\u2026yet. You get the gist. And before you start thinking this is our \u201cfantasy\u201d episode, we decided these all had to be real plants. No blue roses or unicorn trees.
