Packs of 3 come in 7 cm, 9 cm, 1 litre and 3 litre bare-root sizes and cost less per plant. The 2x Pot \u0026amp; Compost option is two plants supplied with pots and compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Lincspplants","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 7cm Bareroot","offer_id":57410774139145,"sku":"BP001-plug","price":2.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 \/ 9cm Bareroot","offer_id":57410774171913,"sku":"BP001-9cm","price":6.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 9cm Potted","offer_id":57410774204681,"sku":"BP001-9cmpot","price":8.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 1Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":57410774237449,"sku":"BP001-1ltr","price":10.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 1Ltr Potted","offer_id":57410774270217,"sku":"BP001-1ltrpot","price":12.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 3Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":57410774302985,"sku":"BP001-3ltr","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 3Ltr Potted","offer_id":57410774335753,"sku":"BP001-3ltrpot","price":23.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 7cm Bareroot","offer_id":57410774368521,"sku":"BP001-Plug-3x","price":7.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 \/ 9cm Bareroot","offer_id":57410774401289,"sku":"BP001-9cm-3x","price":19.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 \/ 1Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":57410774434057,"sku":"BP001-1Ltr-3x","price":30.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 3Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":57410774466825,"sku":"BP001-3Ltr-3x","price":55.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 \/ 2x Pot \u0026 Compost","offer_id":57410774499593,"sku":"BP001-2xpot-2xcompost","price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0834\/4040\/2697\/files\/Achilleaptarmica01_50c6d747-5a37-4c0f-ab92-5a9b8dd74480.jpg?v=1791597642","url":"https:\/\/instock.net\/products\/achillea-ptarmica-the-pearl","provider":"InStock","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
