Bunnings Warehouse allows its shoppers to return their dead plants to its stores within 12 months of purchasing them as part of their ‘perfect plant promise’.
The little-known returns policy, which came as a shock to some of their loyal Australian customers, was brought to the internet’s attention on Facebook.
The special consideration is given to any person who buys a plant – not a seedling – and has it die within the first year.
‘If you’re not 100 per cent happy you can return your plant (with a receipt or a tax invoice) and we’ll refund it,’ the website read.

That way an avid gardener can trade their under-watered or over sun-drenched shrub in for a new one, so all mistakes can be fixed.
Plenty of people were excited by the discovery and vowed to visit their closest Bunnings for their money back.
‘Does that include those orchids that look good for the first couple of weeks and then die a slow death,’ one person asked.
‘We took our very recent dead plant AND receipt back to Bunnings and got a refund,’ said another.
A third added: ‘I wholeheartedly know it’s not Bunnings’ fault when my plants die’.

Some people had been reading the fine print on the plant policy for years and were well across the handy ‘hack’.
‘I’ve been swapping over dead plants there for years. I’ve always had a chuckle walking in with a dead plant that I’ve killed and walking out with a new one,’ said one man.
‘They used to have a sign up and I have done it in the past… if I have details of the receipt,’ said another.
A Bunnings worker replied to the thread to confirm it was true.
‘You MUST have your receipt for the plant and bring in the plant to receive a refund. Yes its true, not fake, I work there,’ she said.
