Most of our plants are grown from seed and take a variety of unique forms, making pricing a challenge at times. We follow the guidelines above, but prices may need to reflect width (for low growers) or maturity rather than height. Choice specimens may be priced individually.
Rhododendron alabamense (Alabama Azalea) and R. prinophyllum (Roseshell Azalea) and various hybrids are available in limited quantities.
