Default Billberry pants?

Hi All,

Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus), not Blueberry!

I have been searching for Bilberry plants for a couple of
years now.Â* I have totally bombed ou8t trying to grow them
from seeds.

The closest I can find is on Flea Bay:

Anyone know of a source other than Flea Bay?

Many thanks,

Followup:

I order one set of two from Flea Bay. It came with
a stern warning that they required cold weather and
that they were just dormant, not dead. They are
currently loving the pampering and have developed
lots of beautiful green leaves.

when the plants get large enough for me to steel
a few clippings, I will try planting clippings
based on what I learned with the choke berries.

And they are not some weird cedar bush either. Their
leaves are clearly dicots
