I think the silversword usually grows a fairly high elevation, not where many people typically live. But it may be that if there once were lower elevation ones, they've been overwhelmed.
Occasionally, Home Depot's native plant selection includes the endangered Alula (aka Olulu, Pua'ala), Brighamia insignis, one of the really neat lobelias. I don't know if they will be carrying rarities like that very often, unless people are actually buying them. Because it's an endangered species, they were permitted by the State to sell it. I don't know if any of the other nurserys that carry native plants will have something as endangered as the silversword to sell.
