An important

note on plant  availability

and prices

 

As we would like to have all plants available at all times, many plants are ready when nature decides. Additionally, due to the rarity of many of these plants, and the popularity of the newer varieties, some of our plants  may sell out when first offered. Other factors such as weather may also affect our inventory. 

 

As our offering of plants is constantly changing, all plants listed here may not be available at all times, please contact us for the most updated availability.

 

You may email us at MailSCG@aol.com, call at 314-965-3070, or better yet, stop by.
