Default Any nurseries specialize in grasses?

Believe me, I've drooled over the PD catalog ;-). I'll be at their open
house in May 'cause they have a couple of items I want, but they don't have
any of the dwarf fountain grasses. The two specified on our plans are
1.5-2.5' tall.

Well, Beth, right before I read your post, I was looking at the Plant
Delights website. Here's the page for "Fountain Grass":

I'm not sure whether these are dwarf varieties, though -- after
all, the plants don't read the catalogue! (That's actually a quote
from me about 20 years ago, when I planted a "Dwarf Nectarine" --
Hah, the joke was on me!)

I'm looking for a couple of ornamental grasses that are listed on
the plant list for our revamped front yard and I'm either looking
too early or in the wrong place. Are there any nurseries that seem
to carry a lot of varieties (preferably in the Cary/Apex area)?

I'm specifically looking for a couple of dwarf fountain grasses
(Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Hameln' and 'Moudry') and a dwarf zebra
(unspecified variety).

I'm having fun with the rest of the list, though, finding a few at a
time and planting them before going out for more!
