In ~1955, Olin Nelson, along with his sons B.P. & Earl, started the nursery in Apopka. The nursery has been producing quality tropical plants and grafted roses since then!
In 2020, we moved from to Winter Garden and built an all new facility from the ground up – new greenhouses, new fields, etc!
In 2023, the 4th generation took over, along with our head grower. While we will honor our rich history, we want to continue to grow … in all ways!
Our stock roses and rootstock are all grown and grafted on site, exclusively in sunny Central Florida. Nelson’s sells direct to local garden centers across FL and landscapers. No big box stores and no e-commerce. Please see our retailers page for a list of vendors.
Our current blooming tropicals/edibles production includes the following plants:
- Bougainvillea (several varieties)
- Jasmine (Sambac ‘Maid of Orleans’, ‘Grand Duke of Tuscany’, ‘Belle of India’, and Night Blooming)
- Dipladenia (several colors)
- Edibles (Figs: Brown Turkey, Fignominal, GE Neri, Wonderful Pomegranates, Barbados Cherries, Passionfruit ‘Possum Purple’, Dwarf Everbearing Mulberries, Florida Pink Guavas)
- Hibiscus (several colors)
- Clerodendrum ‘Bleeding Heart’ (white and red flower)
We’re certified to ship to LA, TX, NC, MS & can ship internationally.
