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":"Lincolnshire Pond Plants","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 7cm Bareroot","offer_id":54368637223245,"sku":"MP007A-plug","price":2.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 9cm Bareroot","offer_id":54368637256013,"sku":"MP007A-9cm","price":6.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 9cm Potted","offer_id":54324733051213,"sku":"MP007A-9cmpot","price":8.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 1Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":54368637288781,"sku":"MP007A-1ltr","price":10.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 1Ltr Potted","offer_id":54324733116749,"sku":"MP007A-1ltrpot","price":12.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 3Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":54368637321549,"sku":"MP007A-3ltr","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 3Ltr Potted","offer_id":54324733182285,"sku":"MP007A-3ltrpot","price":23.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 2x Pot \u0026 Compost","offer_id":54368637354317,"sku":"MP007A-2xpot-2xcompost","price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 7cm Bareroot","offer_id":54368637387085,"sku":"MP007A-Plug-3x","price":7.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 9cm Bareroot","offer_id":54368637419853,"sku":"MP007A-9cm-3x","price":19.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 1Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":54368637452621,"sku":"MP007A-1Ltr-3x","price":30.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 \/ 3Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":54368637485389,"sku":"MP007A-3Ltr-3x","price":55.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/Alisma-Lancelot-002_099d1f09-f645-45e7-988a-91334568f6c4.jpg?v=1788251241","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/lincolnshire-pond-plants-alisma-lancelot-narrow-leaved-water-plantain-native-pond-marginal-plant","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
