Yes, I agree, Niche Gardens is another good one.   I've been there, and they
have
beautiful display gardens, and the plants are well tended and healthy.  They
are
not far from Plant Delights, here in NC.

Another glaring omission of mine is Gene Bush's nursery, Munchkin Nursery.
I realize that he isn't exactly in a Southron State, but they do get heat
and humidity
in the summer, and his plants have adapted well for me.  I've been to his
place,
too, and his plants are well tended and look healthy.  Of all the plants
that I have
ordered from him, he has only had to make one substitution, and I was happy
with it.

Good luck, Matt.  With time, I'm sure we'll come up with more.
BTW, I've also been to Plant Delights nursery.  What a display garden!!  It
really
is incredible!  Plants are well tended and healthy.
I had forgotten about Catharine's experience with Southern Perennials and
Herbs.
