Fakahatchee Grass - Need a Source

Does anyone know of an online source (or local here in Birmingham area) for Fakahatchee Grass 'Tripsacum dactyloides'?

Stokes Tropicals has it, but they want almost 14 bucks & they ship bare root.....not good.

A few years ago a local Home Depot had it, I bought a couple & it did great for me. Last year I sold that house & didn't dig any to take to my new home.....aaarrrrrgh!!

Any help will be appreciated.

Dove Creek has it for $4.99:

Try Googling "Eastern Gamma Grass" or "Gama Grass" You'll find more sources for plants and seed than using the Latin name.
