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":60230837305689,"sku":"MP007A-plug","price":2.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 9cm Bareroot","offer_id":60230837338457,"sku":"MP007A-9cm","price":6.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 9cm Potted","offer_id":60230837371225,"sku":"MP007A-9cmpot","price":8.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 1Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":60230837403993,"sku":"MP007A-1ltr","price":10.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 1Ltr Potted","offer_id":60230837436761,"sku":"MP007A-1ltrpot","price":12.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 3Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":60230837469529,"sku":"MP007A-3ltr","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 3Ltr Potted","offer_id":60230837502297,"sku":"MP007A-3ltrpot","price":23.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 2x Pot \u0026 Compost","offer_id":60230837535065,"sku":"MP007A-2xpot-2xcompost","price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 7cm Bareroot","offer_id":60230837567833,"sku":"MP007A-Plug-3x","price":7.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 9cm Bareroot","offer_id":60230837600601,"sku":"MP007A-9cm-3x","price":19.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 1Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":60230837633369,"sku":"MP007A-1Ltr-3x","price":30.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 \/ 3Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":60230837666137,"sku":"MP007A-3Ltr-3x","price":55.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/8757\/5385\/files\/Alisma-Lancelot-002.jpg?v=1793100555","url":"https:\/\/jamiesonbrothers.com\/products\/alisma-lancelot-narrow-leaved-water-plantain-native-pond-marginal-plant","provider":"Jamieson-brothers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
