Looking for Don's Dwarf Wax Myrtle Shrubs

Hi!

I live in Raleigh and am looking for a nursery to buy Don's Dwarf wax myrtle shrubs for the front of my house. I know that Niche Gardens sells them, but they only sell the quart size. I am looking for something bigger as we are starting from scratch and have no evergreen shrubs against the foundation of our house yet. Any leads/info will be greatly appreciated! I am also open to native alternatives to the wax myrtle that are easier to find . . . though I don't find the yaupon hollies that attractive. . . I am willing to travel outside of the area if necessary.Thanks!

I had the same problem trying to locate Don's Dwarf. I just picked up ten today. I live in a suburb of Atlanta and could not find one garden center that carried them. I searched online for a wholesaler that carried them and called them to see what retail outlets they supplied. They gave me the names of two retail stores that had them. One was within 15 miles of my home and I didn't even know they existed.

You may even want to check with the wholesaler I called:
http://www.rushingnursery.com They show the Don's dwarf online. They are in Alabama but ship to retail in other states.

You can also try:

Taylor's Nursery, Inc. Ã¯Â¿Â½ 3705 New Bern Avenue Ã¯Â¿Â½ Raleigh, NC 27610
Phone: (919) 231-6161

Good Luck!
