I just heard from a very good source, who visited the GoingBananas Nursery recently, that they have very few plants in the ground onsite, but lots of plants in pots from TC. To their credit, though, they send out large plants, not 4"-6" starters. They have a great reputation.

Here are sites that send out corms for sure:
