I did a Google search on "marconi 'shasta dais'" CA OR Calif OR
California". I got many results, but none of them offer 'Marconi' for
sale.

Are these no longer being grown commercially?

This was one of the Google results I already saw. Unfortunately, Bohn's
Farm and Greenhouses deals only wholesale.

This is another Google result I already saw. Links to sources are not
valid. Swallowtail Garden Seeds does not have 'Marconi'. Sugar Creek
Gardens Web site says they do not ship. The others list varieties that
are not 'Marconi'.


seems to indicate they are being grown
commercially. the second link has marconi
specified under the "mail order plants" section.
