      Hello Marilina, Yes, you’re right, the borage family tends to be rather amazing. A borage shrub? Perhaps even more so. Richo

      Hi Val, Thanks for contacting! Yes excited to send one of these well-developed cordias to FL. They grow very rapidly. On this website, if you can put the item in your shopping cart, that means we have it. Also the words “in stock” are helpful.

      Hello Luciana, Mother plants currently in flower–won’t have more to sell until we get seeds from the mother plants and plant them. A woody tropical in the family Boraginacea–it will take a year. Hit “waitlist” please. Richo
