Blue Hesper Palm in Charleston SC?
Comments (9)Thank you for the ideas and the beautiful picture. It is truly an incredible specimen of Chamaerops. I'm so jealous. I have noticed that there isnt always a great selection of "different" or "unique" palms in the local nurseries. I have a landscaper who I'm working with and I dont know if he can get some of these things or not? Ive been told that I need plant material hardy to zone 9a. I dont have a huge lot, so I have to be fairly particular. I have room for only about 3 specimens of palms w/ the other plant material I want to use. I'm very excited to get planting, but simply cant find the plant material.. I would be willing to take a day trip to any nurseries you all may suggest that may have different things.??

Comments (8)I second Hyam's. They always have something, or rather, a lot of, unusual and new plants. An other very good one is Cross seeds on route 61 on the right side of the road if you come from Historic downtown. They are quite close to the downtown area, across the bridge. They have almost everything that Hyam's has and sometimes plants that are already sold out at Hyam's are available at Cross seeds. Cross seeds a bit less expensive but the difference is not very dramatic. A third good one is on route 17 north in Mount Pleasant, just before you enter Charleston coming from the north on 17th. I do not remember the name of this nursery; they are a bit more expensive than Hyam's or Cross Seeds....See MoreAdvice on gardens of Charleston, S.C.?
Comments (4)The Holiday Inn -- Historic District is a newly renovated property that is centrally located and reasonable. Middleton Place is the best public garden-- much better maintained than Magnolia Gardens and excellent garden tour guides. The house museum is not so great, but the food at their restaurant is excellent. Pick up a copy of Margaret Moore's Complete Charleston: A guide to the architecture, history and gardens of Charleston and the Low Country. It has great insight and walking tours plus some good advice on excellent restaurants. Charleston has some of the best eating in the nation, so pick wisely and avoid the tourist traps. Pick a day of viewing gardens when you can be South of Broad Street in the historic Old City or in Ansonborough....See MoreGoing to Charleston, S.C.! Any suggestions?
Comments (20)DH and I are going to Charleston the middle of May for an annual visit, May 15 thru May 18. We've celebrated our anniversary there for about 5 years or so. We don't have an unlimited budget but do try to go to one or two of the nicer restaurants a couple of times. Rue de Jean is a favorite lunch pick. We've gone to 82 Queen a couple of times for dinner but Peninsula Grill and Charleston Grill are a little out of our reach. Can anyone tell me anything about the restaurant at Middleton Place...good food? Any other places you'd recommend for dinner? Some friends and I are going in March for the private gardens tour but we're only staying 3 nights which gives us 2 days to do whatever we're going to do as far as sightseeing etc. I always look forward to going there but I think I may check out Seabrook Island for future reference. We're staying in Mt. Pleasant again this year. jude...See MoreHU-939966930
