If you see any plants at Hummingbird Hill that you would like to buy, then I can usually advise you where to get them. Most can be drop shipped at the proper planting time for this zone at your work site or home. Local nurseries might have pick-up only.
Seasonally, I thin out or relocate my plants. At these times plants will be available to buy here at Hummingbird Hill. Sometimes I have collected seeds that are available to buy also.
Roses: If you like the varieties that I have, or wish to order some other Old Garden Roses, Buck Roses, or Austin Roses, now is the time to do it before the varieties you want are sold out! Now is a good time to plant roses in Texas so the roots can get established before the hot summer comes. They can also be ordered now and be delivered in the spring if you wish. You just need to order them early, for many of these are popular and sell out early. These are all own-root roses, and not grafted. For pictures and more information about the roses at Hummingbird Hill click on the Roses page.

This is a new garden only two summers old. But things grow fast in Central Texas and hopefully soon there will be seasonal sales of named daylily, iris, and canna.
