Your site has helped me in choosing the right plants for any given area as my husband & I have moved often over the years such as Florida, S.C., MO., and now the mountains of North Carolina, which is where we plan to retire. There is nothing more frustrating than to purchase expensive plants only to have them fail due to erroneous information regarding a plants requirements to succeed....even in local nurseries. So often when I see a plant I might consider for our yard, I often visit your sight to double check complete details esp. regarding the Monrovia brand as I know there are micro-climates within any given area. Our retirement home will prove a challenge for we live on top of a mountain with plenty of trees, wind, snow & compacted clay soil around the house. I have a lot of work ahead of me & plan to start out right by purchasing the Monrovia plants due to their quality and vigor, which has never failed me no matter where we have lived in the past. Sincerely, Melody

Thank you Melody for sharing your experience with Monrovia plants. When you get settled into your new home (which sounds rather amazing to me!) and find you need advice for plants that will do well in your conditions, please feel free to double back. We love to solve plant riddles! Best, Kate

Cannot find your gold leaf spirea at Lowes and have been unable to have them ordered. I would like 5 plants. Do you have any suggestions? Newton in Brevard, NC.

I have been wanting a Slender Hinoki False Cyress and finally decide to oder but to my dismay there is only the 1.6 gallon available. I was in my Lowes, Shawnee ,OK 74804 and I've looked every time I'm there for this tree. Today I went and i was standing right by one, but didn't recognize it because it was gold and seemed dried out. It was not in the correct container, but a larger one. I know that I read this tree turns golden to orange in the fall. It didn't appear healthy so I didn't buy. I would really like to buy the next size up but I see it isn't available? Can you explain why the tree was an orange color. And I would like to know when the 3 gallon size is available.
