It's just starting to come into the stores now. It takes awhile to be a saleable size at the nurseries. Both Home Depot and Lowe's will special order it for you if you ask, but they should have some soon. The property next door has it planted in an open field and it is just now starting to take off here in Gainesville. I've been looking for it too, and the girl at Lowe's said it should be coming in soon.

Thanks! I visit the Lowe's on 13th at least once a week so I'll ask them to notify me when they come in and if needed, I ask them to order some. Every now and again, UF's butterfly plant sale has some but you never know when it will be.

There's a house a few blocks form the Duck Pond area that has a side yard covered in it, I think I'll knock on their door to see where they found it.

Thanks again,

Rhonda

What is really beautiful is to interplant the yellow perennial peanut with the Sunshine Mimosa. I saw this years ago at the Florida Native Plant nursery and fell in love with the look.

That sounds pretty. I've always liked pinks/purples planted with gold. Thanks, I'll suggest it.

Awesome idea(s)! I really dig that little guy when I'm down your way. Some here may remember my little tale about how my parents and I were at some shopping mall when I noticed this beauty in the hell strip out front....and how they, at the time in their 20th or so year of living in FL had never noticed the plant! There's people that notice plants....and then there's the other 99%.

Hey Tom,

Cute story :) A lot of people think they look weedy, but I think they're cute and I'm all in for anything that will grow in sand, doesn't need mowed, doesn't need much water and flowers. But then, I've never been a conformist :)

Rhonda

I'm right there with ya, rvir!

Rhonda I bet if you knocked on the door and asked for some they would be happy to share with you. It transplants well if you keep it watered and don't let it dry out.

Hey Sharon. I did knock on the door but the husband answered and didn't know where his wife got them . I asked him for some cuttings but he wouldn't do it without his wife's permission lol Smart man :) I'm going to try again next week.

I asked my Lowe's and Home Depot if they could order them but they said they couldn't. Garden Gate said they'd try.

Thanks, Rhonda

Yes in deed ... smart man. lol Maybe you'll catch her working in the yard next week.
