They are actually called Firecracker Ferns.

Try Fairfield Farms up 301 or KB Home and Garden in Wildwood.

We recently shopped for a coral honeysuckle plant. A phone call to KB had a disconnected message, and a call to Fairfield Farms, we were greeted with a "please leave a message " recording. I'm not interested in chasing down a supplier to buy a plant. We ordered online. Tried to buy local, but it didn't work out.

Try the Marion Market. We bought 2 small ones this past weekend. Very inexpensive.

I bought mine from the man who sells plants at Brownwood on Saturday mornings.

It is frustrating but buying online is tricky other than seeds. The Plant Sale is this weekend at the sumner County Fairgrounds. You’ll have plenty of plants to choose from that are healthy and come from qualified garden centers,

Yes

I would just point out that Amazon has 14 reviews averaging 4.7 out of 5 for their firecracker plants purchased online.

PM me. I will give you some for free!

Oh, never heard of them, sorry but if anybody would have some plant like this go to a nursery!

Amazon has killed a lot of local jobs and a lot of local retail selection.

Probably. I rarely go to Lowes or Home Depot anymore. Everything they sell is available from Amazon within a day or two, usually at a lower price. I think the only reason those stores stay in business is because people have a habit of going to a store. It is interesting that Lowes, Home Depot, and other stores compete with their own "brick and mortar" stores by offering online orders.

But is that really competing with themselves? I ordered two hydrangea bushes from Home Depot online, one in a two-gallon and one in a one-gallon pot. They are beautiful, started growing immediately, came quickly, free shipping, didn't dirty up the back of my car, and I didn't have to go anywhere. Maybe it's not supporting the local HD, but HD overall.

Cottage Garden
 

The Cottage Garden is a nursery. They have a wide selection of plants. They have quart , gallon, and larger. Shade and sun loving plants. They do sell pottery, various garden trellis, succulents. This is family owned. I have purchased all of my plants for several years. Don’t judge until you visit. Their prices are better than any box store. The owner is on site and has loyal employees that are always out and about.

I'm not familiar so I googled it. I see several different genus and species so I think you should shop locally to make sure you're getting the one you want. The Russellia looks like it gets huge and unruly so beware of the multiple kinds of "firecracker plants" that are offered for sale. The kind Villagers that offered a rooting from their garden would be the best way to know what your getting and how to care for it. Kudos to them!

I was replying to Post No. 13 that said Amazon is killing local jobs. Aren't other stores doing the same thing by offering online sales? Also, if all Lowes and Home Depot customers ordered online, wouldn't their brick and mortar stores need to close?

Got mine at Walmart

I bought my firecracker bush late spring of last year off the 44 at a nursery called Naty's. The FC is really bursting with color this time of year, blooming big and beautiful. Naty's is located off the 44 towards Leesburg, make a left at Subway then down that road on the right. Nice people there, decent prices. I also got my bird of paradise there which has also been blooming.

While I agree, some things can’t be purchased easily online. I have made four trips to Lowel’s this month, each time to pick up 12 rectangles of sod. Wish my truck was here, I could have done it in one trip, but you can only fit so much sod in a golf cart.
