Another nearby nursery to check is KB on CR 462. From the south travel west on 466a to right onto CR 462 (it's what Powell Road becomes when Powell crosses 466a). KB will be on the right after you cross the railroad tracks. From the north, travel south on 301 and take a left at the light onto 462.

Also don't dismiss the big box stores. I've found some goodies there too. Whip out your cell and check out a plant's requirements if you don't know. Don't always depend on the tag. "Full sun" in most of the country is a whole lot different from Florida full sun. And...no matter how informed you are on a particular plant, it may still be a total flop - or a prize winner - despite the requirements on the tag versus the conditions in your garden. If you're drawn to a particular plant but not sure it will work for you, buy one as a trial. I've shovel pruned my share, but have found winners along the way too.
