Looking for a local Nursery
 
Hi,

I've been trying to find geraniums but haven't been successful.
I've tried Lowes, Home Depot and Fairfield Farms Nursery but no luck.
Any suggestions would be great!!

Thanks!!

Wait til early spring..geraniums don't like Florida summers.

I thought it was too late for Geraniums, My petunias couldn't take the heat.
 
I want a Gardenia bush. Went to friends home the other night and she picked a gardenia from her garden. I smelled it and it's lovely perfume took me back to prom night and Easter corsages.

She said it is called Frostproof and available at a Leesburg Nursery at a very reasonable price. (Under ten dollars!)

I cannot wait to own one of my own.

Isn't it amazing and lovely how perfumes and music can take us back to a treasured memory.

Gracie, this plant compared to other Gardenia's, is pretty darn strong in frost months. I never covered mine in frost, and its blooming just great right now. Likes a lot of sunshine. But you can't go wrong in buying one!!
