But that's not all, as not only is it affordable, but it'll grow back bigger and more beautiful every year - yes, you heard that correctly.
It comes after one shopper took to social media to share her rave review of her favourite B&M buy, leaving many totally stunned.
Posting on Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, a private Facebook group with 2.6 million members, Emma Williams uploaded snaps of her Red Oriental Lily plant - and we and many others think it looks beautiful.
Alongside pictures of her bargain buy, which was less than a fiver, Emma wrote: 'Lilies from B&M. They also had white.'
Thrilled with her high-street plant which cost her just £4.50, Emma then added: 'I get one every year and they also come back every year.'
Thanks to these iconic Lily plants, which are known for their vibrant blooms and strong fragrance, your garden is sure to glow this summer.
The perennials are a striking addition to any garden and are said to be relatively low-maintenance, often returning year after year.
Such plants thrive in sunny to partially shaded locations, with well-drained soil.
Gardening enthusiasts should note that Lily bulbs are recommended to be planted about 12 cm deep and 20 cm apart.
And in order to keep your Lily plants looking good, deadheading faded blooms and ensuring proper watering is recommended.

8 must-have plants to brighten up your garden
Nick Hamilton owner of Barnsdale Gardens has shared his favourite plants and flowers you should consider adding to your garden, borders and pots.
Tricyrtis
A spectacular plant that gives a real exotic feel to any garden with its orchid-like, spotted flowers giving the impression that this plant should be tender but it is 'as tough as old boots!'.
Penstemon
I love this plants genus of because most will flower all summer and autumn. They'll grow in sun or semi-shade in a well drained soil and produce a non-stop display of tubular flowers in an array of colours and colour combination to suit all tastes.
Luzula sylvatica 'Marginata'
With the evergreen leaves edged with yellow it's great asset is that it
will grow in sun or shade in any type of soil and is great as groundcover in the hardest spot to fill - dry shade.
Eryngium x zabelii 'Big Blue'
A stunning, nectar-rich plant that will feed the beneficial insects in your
garden. Leave the flowerheads once they have turned brown because they look stunning with winter frost and snow, extending the plant's interest period.
Sarcococca hookeriana 'Winter Gem'
If you need winter scent then look no further than this compact, evergreen shrub. The scent is stunning and the evergreen leaves create an excellent backdrop for the summer flowers.
Cornus sanguinea 'Anny's Winter Orange'
A dwarf version of 'Midwinter Fire' the very colourful stems create a stunning winter display, particularly on sunny days.
Rosa 'Noisette Carnee'
A very well-behaved climbing rose that is perfect for training over an arch, pergola or gazebo. The small, 'noisette' flowers are blush-pink and produce the most amazing clove scent constantly from June to November.
Sanguisorba hakusanensis 'Lilac Squirrel'
I've never seen a squirrel with a drooping, shaggy lilac tail, but this variety will give your garden an unusual and different look throughout summer. It does need a moisture retentive soil but will grow in sun or semi-shade.
A third commented: 'I need some!'
Meanwhile, someone else beamed: "They'll grow back every year.'
At the same time, another gardening enthusiast wrote: 'How pretty.'
While another user thought the lilies looked 'gorgeous', she also shared a stern warning for cat owners, as she advised: 'Don't forget to cut the stamen out so you don't poison your kitties.'
