An Exeter supermarket has come into criticism after trying to sell plants that looked dead.
The Daily Mail report that staff at Exeter's Aldi in Alphington have been grassed up by customers who spotted the drooping and wilting plants.
Claim have been made that the store has continued to sell the plants for the past week without realising they could be dead.
The plants were on sale yesterday for £1.99 each, despite much of the foliage literally withering on the vines.
One shopper told the paper: 'I noticed these plants looking the worse for wear last week and was amazed to find what looks like the same batch still on sale several days later.
'A member of staff must be wheeling them out each morning oblivious to the fact these plants are as dead as a Monty Python parrot.
'The manager told me he was watering them but it looks far too late to save them. I know Aldi shoppers like a bargain but nobody wants a dead plant.'
Bosses at Aldi are yet to comment.
