Our local nursery does both depending on the plant. The big butterfly weed was started elsewhere. I think more people are becoming knowledgeable, thus causing some bigger stores to make changes. The thing is so many do not yet know or care, so the companies will also cater to them. I heard of one big box place labelling the plants that had neonics put on them, but just perusing places like that, the tags are lost, or at times put into the wrong pots.
When I first went into the local place looking for heirloom tomatoes, he was telling me he has customers asking for round-up ready tomatoes. Makes me concerned about buying "local" from farmer's markets.
