That's why Brandon Koruna , has shared four of the cheapest plants you can get your hands on, and they're basically impossible to kill as well.
He said: "If you want your gardens to look fuller and you want to do it cheap, these are the perennial plants you want to get."
Hostas
First up are Hostas, which can be spotted thanks to their distinctive leaves.
The gardening whizz explained: "Hostas are super robust, they'll grow almost anywhere, and every year you can just chop them in half and split them."
This means that you eventually end up getting way more plants than you paid for.
Irises
This plant flowers in late spring, but they're also a great choice if you want to get the most bang for you buck, since you can also split them to get more plants.
"Every year chop them in half and move them to a new location," Brandon said.
Black Eyed Susan
