Take a drive up to Porter's, about 10 miles north of TV on 441/27. They have acres of plants for sale and also do landscaping.

It is better to buy locally than Orlando, since Orlando is in a different planting
zone, and plants that do well there may not survive the cold weather in TV.

Most local nurseries, plus the big box stores, will guarantee their plants for the first year.
