A beginning of Garden plants for sale in 2015
Plants will vary in price and container size Some will only be available during dormancy – late Fall or early Spring — and will be updated this winter. Seed or plant exchanges are always welcome!
Due to PayPal’s inability to handle and charge appropriate fees for multiple combinations I decided to re-edit all my listings to a ‘plant cost only.’ At the bottom of each listing page will be three shipping alternatives.

I just got an order for Jovibarba from Hawaii and I wrote the buyer my concerns.
“Before shipping this off to you I will wait for a response regarding a few concern of mine.
Hawaii may not be a good fit for this plant unless you are in one of the zones that get a cold period in winter.
There are two issues. Although it is certainly cold hardy (Zn4) I am not sure about its survival in year long mild temps. Normally their colors vary from summer to winter, at times being more subdued, and other times much more intense.
Cold brings out the intensity. You might be left without the full benefit of the winter coloration.
Excessive rainfall may be an issue. Excellent drainage be it in the ground or in a pot would be necessary.
Thirdly, the constant temp. might cause it to over-flower. When it does, it will die and not put out offshoots. Their is a trick here. basically neutering the plant by pricking out the very middle growth area before it can send up a flower. This would be done NOW.- and very carefully. Not to be done in rain as the wound would need to heal.
All that said, I am ignorant of Hawaii and what might do well there. If ‘Hen and Chicks’ survive this will as well. They grow in Florida, but even Florida can have cold snaps.
Echevaria might be a better choice for a ground cover or specimen plant. I can put on my thinking cap and see if I can come up with something else as well.
Aloha … at least they would die warm.
Might also have to bare-root things going to Hawaii. Plant inspections and all.
