Today I went to the Open House and Plant Sale at Plants Delights Nursery on Sauls Road in Wake County. If you have the opportunity to visit their gardens, it is a "delight". The gardens are beautiful and you can see the plants in the ground in a real yard/garden setting.
The visual is so much better than looking in the catalog. Lots of great ideas and new plants to see.
Tony Avent is a gracious host and the staff are most helpful.
I wanted agave plants - the common term is century plants. Found more than one!
