Most places I look have a pretty limited selection. My tank is 30" tall so short plants will look kind of dumb.
 
I got a great deal from ebay If i can find the name of the seller i will get back to you.
I purchased a package 20 plants from 4 to 18-or 24 inch not sure. The guy sold computer cables and fake aquarium plants real weird combo - i will never forget
 
My old lfs had this type of fake plant that had connectors so you could stack it as high as you wanted. I haven't seen them in a while but you might be able to find them online.

If I see them I'll post the link later.
 
Awesome. I'm looking at ebay and there's lots of big plant lots which will be cool, it's a 6' tank and if I buy plants 1 by 1 from the LFS it'll cost me :(
 
go to one of those arts and craft stores micheals or pearl . they have whole isle or two of fake plants. i had to remove bendy metal wire with plyers but no probs.

Hey that's not a bad idea, are they fish safe? Do you use plant weights or just silicone some gravel to weigh it down?
 
Go to Michaels or a similar store. I got some long vine like things there, I dont know what crafty people use them for but they didnt have any metal in them. Some of the upright ones will have metal but you can pull it out. They call them silk plants, but I dont know if they are really silk. They have not given me any problems in my tanks.
 
Also, look for "floral supply" in the yellow pages for your area.
 
I know my local Petsmart has some really long plants. They are not in the typical fake plants package and are very long, I think close to 30"
