Hi,
When you live where there are no stores witin a reasonable
driving distance (as I do), I would suggest two things.
First, the obvious, "on line stores":

http://www.azgardens.com/
DrsfosterSmith.com
Big Al's
And dozens of others that I'm sure other readers might
add.

Personally, I deal with Arizona Gardens. Call them and
tell them the size of your tank, the water chemistries
(pH,GH,KH) the wattage of light/gallon, and especially
what you have in mind for the tank, and they well make
suggestions, and or, packages up just for you.

The other thing is to see if there are any Aquarium
Clubs in the towns near you that hold monthly meetings.
Drive into town for the meeting and there you can purchase
plants from the members.

Another thing is to check out the sites above, look at
the various plants, and then choose (based on your
tanks conditions (stated above) and then when you are
in town look for them and purchase them as they become
available.
