Southeastern Garden Centers
The Southeast's warm, humid climate and long growing season make it one of the most forgiving regions in the country for gardening, with azaleas, camellias, dogwoods, and crepe myrtles serving as garden center staples from Georgia and the Carolinas through Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Florida. Many garden centers here stay busy nearly year-round rather than seeing the sharp seasonal swings common farther north, and disease-resistant plant varieties get particular attention given the region's heat and humidity.
