The term refers to the sourcing of a specific desert-adapted plant, known for its striking, thorny stems and vibrant red flowers, from a large home improvement retailer. It represents a consumer’s intent to purchase this unique plant through a readily accessible retail channel specializing in home and garden products.
Acquiring this plant through such a retailer offers benefits such as convenient access, often at a competitive price point, and the potential for related gardening supplies to be purchased simultaneously. Historically, access to regional native plants like this was limited to specialty nurseries or direct sourcing, making the availability through mainstream retailers a significant shift in accessibility.
