I think the smallest quantity that you might get would be 52 plugs, and most of the plug growers that I've seen in the past require at least 3-4 trays on plugs, per time delivered. I haven't purchased any plugs as of yet, so my info may not correct.

Best options varies from region to region. I am from midwest, so I get my plugs in small quantities from Fariblaut Growers, MN (minimum 25 plugs per variety; orders minimum $300) + Shipping/Handling. Pot stick tags included. If I could afford shopping for large quantities I would go with Ball Horticulture. You need to request them for catalogs and order forms and they will mail it to you. Their online website and catalogs are quite complicated to keep track off. Easier just to ask for paper copies. They have great variety and greenhouses all over the country. For most plugs minimum of one kind is 100 and order minimum (I might be wrong) $1500 + Shipping/Handling + Brokerage fee + Pots stick tags for extra fee.

They are gorgeous in spring so I still keep a few of them. They do well in this very dry area under a tree where they get plenty of afternoon sun. If you grow them in too much shade they look like wet dirty dogs, especially when it rains. The plants in this picture were shot in spring but have now been culled out and the next batch is up and running, ready to take over next spring-- they are evergreen here in zone 7. Here in Oklahoma they tend to go dormant in summer, as do many cool season grasses, and look ratty with age. I've grown this grass in various spots all over my yard over the years. Once you have it, you always have it, Its kind of a throw away plant that ends up replacing itself nicely with new fresh ones. One year I had about 50 plants massed in and it was a sight to behold when the wind blew. Nowadays I only keep a few because... well, just because.
