No seedlings, and it's been 6 weeks now. Any ideas?

Please does anyone know of any garden centre where I can buy
Rosebay/Fireweed seeds from? I live in Manchester and I would love to
grow some in my garden, I have only seen it on railway embankments and
it's far too dangerous to go near there. Any help would be very much
appreciated. Edric


I should think most gardeners are trying to get rid of it! You could
try Googling for someone who specialises in wild flowers, though. And
did you really go back to 2003 to find a thread on Rosebay Willowherb?
Amazing!
