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!!!!"

Paris Fury's extravagant 17-person picnic as kids run around with dummies on chains
There were no fewer than 13 children to control on the day out as Paris and Tyson Fury tucked into everything including strawberries and cream days after renewing their vows It was a hamper, not a honeymoon, for Paris Fury as she enjoyed a huge picnic with her family days after tying the knot with husband Tyson for a third time. Fresh from renewing their vows in France, they decided the party must go on as 17 of them got together on Sunday for a mega feast. Their army of youngsters ran around with dummies on chains at the stunning setting. All seven of the couple's kids were there and Paris had help keeping them occupied. Uploading clips of the day out to Instagram, she said: "Picnic. My 7 kids. Sister-in-law's 6 kids and the 2 husbands." He tagged Tyson's brother 'Big Shane' is another of the photos before showing off the incredible banquet. They have seven children together and their brood were all in attendance. Their sons Prince John James, Prince Tyson II, Prince Adonis Amaziah and Prince Rico dashed around having fun with their siblings and cousins while daughters Venezuela, Valencia and Athena enjoyed the sunshine. Boxing legend Tyson met Paris at a wedding of a mutual friend when he was 18, and have been together ever since. They married in front of 400 friends and family before having their first child, Venezuela, in 2009. They did it all again on Wednesday as they headed for France. Taking to social media, the former heavyweight world champion said: "Paris Fury and I got married again; third time lucky. We had the most beautiful day in the South of France, it holds a lot of special memories for us." The couple originally married in 2008 when Paris was just 19 having met several years earlier. He has gushed over Paris in a series of posts online following their latest vow renewal ceremony. Tyson shared a clip of Paris taking a dip in stunning clear waters before resting on a surfboard with their daughter Venezuela. The boxer lovingly shared: "i found a real life mermaid @parisfury loving life and living the dream. if only i could………… ow wait i did!!!!!!!" Tyson then revealed a touching moment between him and his wife as they danced together on a balcony overlooking the sea while white petals fell around them. They wrapped their arms around each other before sharing a kiss as Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On played. Alongside the romantic dance, Tyson revealed: "our first wedding dance @parisfury totally beautiful event and thank you paris for marrying me 3 times. to love and hold in sickness and in health, #younglove." They have been together ever since and originally married in front of 400 friends and family before having their first child, Venezuela, in 2009. Paris has remained by Tyson's side through the highs and lows of his career as well as his period of binge-drinking and drug use between the end of 2015. Tyson even admitted himself he has "not the best husband" over the years. "I've not been the best husband in the world," he said during the chat on Gary Neville's show The Overlap. "I've been far from it." "I've not been the best person in the world," he continued. "I've been far from it but I'm happy that I'm back on track and everything's running smooth again. "And to get a woman who's been with you all that time and gone through the bulls***. The good times and the bad times. [For her] to still be there when you don't want to be and when you're being forced away and you're being pushed out, that takes a very strong individual. And like I say, without having that person, [I would] probably want to be dead anyway."

Skibidi, delulu, tradwife, mouse jiggler: The new words being added to the Cambridge Dictionary
Thousands of new words, including popular social media slang such as "Skibidi", "tradwife", and "delulu", are set to be added to the Cambridge Dictionary this year. Over 6,000 terms will join the lexicon, reflecting modern life with additions like "mouse jiggler" from remote working, and "forever chemical" highlighting climate change concerns. Slang term 'skibidi', a jibberish word, joined the world 's largest online dictionary in the past 12 months. Defined in the dictionary as 'a word that can have different meanings such as 'cool' or 'bad', or can be used with no real meaning as a joke', an example of its use is: 'What the skibidi are you doing?' The term was coined by the creator of a viral animated video series called 'skibidi toilet' on YouTube, Cambridge Dictionary said, and Kim Kardashian revealed her familiarity with the phrase when she posted a video on Instagram in October showing a necklace her daughter had given her as a birthday present, engraved with 'skibidi toilet'. 'Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary,' said Colin McIntosh, lexical programme manager at Cambridge Dictionary. 'Tradwife', short for traditional wife, has also grown in popularity, Cambridge Dictionary said, thanks to the digital world. Meaning, a married woman who stays at home doing cooking, cleaning, and has children that she takes care of, the dictionary definition also says a 'tradwife' is 'especially one who posts on social media'. As well as new phrases, some shortened versions of existing terms have been added, including 'delulu', a play on the world delusional, with a similar definition: 'believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to'. Mr McIntosh said Cambridge Dictionary only adds words which they believe will stand the test of time. 'It's not every day you get to see words like 'skibidi' and 'delulu' make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary,' he said. 'We only add words where we think they'll have staying power.' Cambridge Dictionary uses the Cambridge English Corpus, a database of more than two billion words of written and spoken English, to observe how new words are used by different people, how often and in what contexts they are used. More remote working since the pandemic helped 'mouse jiggler', meaning a device or piece of software used to make it seem as though you are working when you are not, gain its place in the dictionary. Some composite terms such as 'broligarchy' were also added. Merging 'bro' and 'oligarchy', the term means 'a small group of men, especially men owning or involved in a technology business, who are extremely rich and powerful, and who have or want political influence', and was used to describe tech leaders Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg attending Donald Trump's inauguration in January. Meanwhile, new entries like 'work wife' and 'work spouse' acknowledge workplace relationships where two people help and trust each other, Cambridge Dictionary said.

Billi Mucklow shows off her ‘revenge body' amid Andy Carroll's reunion with ex Lou Teasdale
red hot Andy has spoken out about his brief split from Lou BILLI Mucklow looked incredible as she showed off her body in a red bikini while soaking up the sun on holiday. The former Towie star, 37, took to Instagram to share some new snaps from the break with her children. 3 3 3 Billi - who shares sons Arlo, nine, and Wolf, six, and daughter Marvel Mae, four, with ex-husband Andy Carroll - was seen beaming while flaunting her toned tummy in the two piece. Fans rushed to comment on the snaps, with one writing: 'Keep doing what you're doing, you're shining.' Someone else said: 'You look stunning.' And a third couldn't resist a dig at footballer Andy, 36 - who at the weekend confirmed he and girlfriend Lou Teasdale are back together. The fan said: 'Andy is a very very silly man.' Billi and Andy confirmed they'd called time on their relationship in September, just two years after tying the knot. But The Sun revealed the couple actually split in June 2024 - with Andy and Lou, 41, getting together just weeks later. Earlier this month Andy dumped Lou, with insiders at the time revealing he was 'sick of her demands and influencer lifestyle'. But in a new interview with The Sun, Andy confirmed he's keen to make things with Lou work. He said: 'I love Lou and I love her family. We row like any couple. Andy Carroll quizzed by cops twice after bust-ups with girlfriend at packed restaurant and hotel during Greek holiday 'Things have been difficult for me and I'm going through a divorce. 'Some of our rows have been about alcohol, as Lou has been teetotal for 14 years and I have a beer or wine at dinner and a drink after the game, but it's not a problem in my life. 'I'm a professional footballer and that's not the case. 'I play sport every single day so my level of fitness is really good. I play football every day so I'm fit.'
