The Salix Flamingo tree was a viral gardening buy last year and has already been spotted again in shops ahead of summer.
But bosses at The Range last week revealed they've added a miniature version to their outdoor section too - and it's only £3.99.
With their feathery and bright pink plumage, these mini trees can easily add a bold pop of colour in your garden with minimal effort.
If you aren't green-fingered, you can still have these plants in your outdoor space as they require minimal pruning, once in the summer and winter, and should flower every spring.
They also grow in well-drained soil and full-dappled sunlight.
But don't just take our word for it. The Salix Flamingo tree has even been given the prestigious Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society.
And according to Gardeners' World, the flamingo tree looks delicate but is "completely hardy in the UK".
Posting the new arrival on Instagram, the team at The Range said: "It's FLAMINGO TIME!
"That's right — last year's SELL-OUT 60cm Salix Flamingo Trees are BACK in stock & at the UNBEATABLE price of £14.99 each or 2 for £20!!
"And LOOK at this year's mini version — just £3.99 each or 3 for £10!
I made a DIY fence for £68 with pallets from Facebook Marketplace - it gives more privacy & people say it's 'fantastic'
"Flock to stores before these fly away!"
The bargain buy, which features a stunning bright pink plumage, has sent gardening fans into a frenzy, with many saying they're the perfect way to inject a pop of colour into your outdoor haven with minimal effort.
And shoppers are racing to their nearest The Range store in a bid to track down the miniature tree.
One person joked: "Omg my sat nav has accidentally on purpose redirected itself to the range… I might as well stop and get a few now."
"These are my favourite", cried a second.
A third echoed: "Ooooh mini ones look sooo cute !!"
"I better get to the range quick", chimed in a fourth.
A fifth said: "Ooooo the mini one", accompanied by the heart eye emoji.
Meanwhile, a sixth wrote: "Oh I definitely need one this year!!!!"

Remember that some products are limited to selected stores, so always check with your local shop before wasting a trip. How to save money at B&M Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M's scanner app. The scanner lets you see if an item's price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label. Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift. The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store. According to one ex-B&M manager, you'll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too. Here's how you can join the B&M bargain hunt: Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play. Once you've installed it on your device, click on the option labelled "more" on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page. You'll then find an option that says "barcode scanner". Click on this and you'll open a camera screen. Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check. If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price. You don't need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner. If, like Aimee, you want to transform your garden space as the weather warms up, B&M has you covered. One product guaranteed to make your backyard the envy of your neighbours is the Stained Glass Hanging Decoration. The purse-friendly buy comes in a wide variety of colours and patterns from stunning floral designs to captivating mandala patterns.

Another product guaranteed to give your garden a glow-up, is the Flower Solar Light. The bargain buy comes in a variety of different colours, including yellow and pink, so is guaranteed to inject your garden with a stunning splash of colour.

Meghan Markle shrugs off twerking backlash with carefree beach snap
Meghan Markle has shared a carefree beach snap after she was accused of 'over-sharing' in a 'cringeworthy' video of her twerking to celebrate her daughter's birthday Meghan Markle has brushed off backlash surrounding her "cringeworthy" twerking video with a carefree beach snap. The Duchess of Sussex spoke of 'running into the weekend' as she frolicked in the water in her most recent Instagram post on her As Ever account. The 43-year-old was pictured prancing in the water on a sunny beach, sporting a flowing white sundress as she revealed her excitement 'for all the good to come'. Just hours earlier, she had shared a series of heartwarming photos featuring herself, Prince Harry, and their children - six-year-old Archie and four-year-old Lilibet - during a memorable family trip to Disneyland. Sharing the montage with her 3.7million followers, the mother-of-two described their two-day visit as "pure joy" and expressed gratitude to the park for the special experience. She also highlighted the fun-filled moments the family enjoyed, from thrilling rides to indulging in delicious treats. Offering a glimpse into their life in the U.S., she included a sweet photo of Archie and Lilibet meeting Elsa from Frozen for the first time, along with a touching shot of Prince Harry and Lilibet sharing a ride together. This latest social media update follows an earlier post that raised eyebrows - a lighthearted but awkward video of her and Prince Harry dancing in a hospital room in an effort to induce Lilibet's birth. The candid video, which runs for more than a minute, also features Harry, who is seen dancing in and out of the frame. He is beckoned in by Meghan as the pair dance together, with the duke appearing at the end with the hood of his grey hoodie up as he continues his dance moves. Meghan is wearing a black maternity dress and cradles her large bump as she dances, as well as lifting her skirt above her knees, raising her hands in the air and wiggling low with her hands on her hips and legs. The release of the footage is one of the more unusual ways a member of the royal family has marked a royal birthday. Earlier, the duchess posted never-before-seen intimate family photos of 'Daddy's little girl and favorite adventurer' Lili. Meghan shared a black-and-white snap of herself cuddling the princess, who was sat on her lap, with the pair both sporting windswept hair, seemingly on a boat. Another image showed Meghan tenderly cradling newborn Lili as she enjoyed skin-to-skin time with the new addition to her family in 2021. In a later post, she described how Lili's relationship with Harry was 'the sweetest bond to watch unfold'.
