They barely had any tropicals; a few overpriced Hibiscus and Mandevillas, and a couple of Philodendron type "house plants". I then thought I'd try my luck, across the bridge, in New Jersey. (I had to plan carefully, and combine as many errands as possible, because of the exorbitant tolls.) I went to another HD, and Wallmart. The results were the same.
Keep checking every week or two; the nursery suppliers tend to bring stuff in waves, even stuff that isn't climate appropriate. Just because they don't have them now, doesn't mean they won't get some. Also talk to the nursery manager at the stores and ask them to ask their supplier if they will be delivering any this year. The big box stores don't actually know what is coming and when, it is all run by the nursery suppliers.
