It's like gardening Christmas. New plants are always fun and finding a box of new plants on the porch, as I did Wednesday afternoon, is even more fun.
With so many good native and adapted plants available locally it's easy to find plants I need so ordering plants online is rare for me. When Santa Rosa Gardens had a pre-season sale in January I decided to give them a try. I've had my eye on their white-blooming Gulf Muhly (Muhlenbergia capillaris 'White Cloud') and haven't found it locally so ordering was the best way to go. I easily found several other plants to try in my garden. They even let me pick my ship date nearly six weeks ahead so I didn't have to hold the plants through the winter.
