Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?

A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.

Please forgive us, but Mr. Smarty Plants has been overwhelmed by a flood of mail and must take a break for awhile to catch up. We hope to be accepting new questions again soon. Thank you!

Title: Source for Habiturf sod in Central Texas
Answered by: Nan Hampton

QUESTION:

Do you know any source for Habiturf sod in Central Texas? I contacted Blade Runner Farms and they replied that their Habiturf project was discontinued.

ANSWER:

Mr. Smarty Plants is sorry to tell you that at this time there is no source for Habiturf sod in Central Texas since Blade Runner Farms discontinued their production.

Seeds are still available from the Wildlfower Center Store and from Douglas King Seeds.
