C. europeaum is a discontinued name for either C purpurascens (which is not hardy) and C.repandum forms.
Must be down to situation then. We find both Cc coum and hederifolium flourish almost every where in this garden, even in the lawn and on the roadside verge outside. They do not even seem to mind being run over with the lawn mower. Indeed both of them are becoming pests in parts of the garden.
I cannot see Homebase selling C.coum Silver leaf in trays. They are more often sold by specialist growers at an inflated price too.
