Thanks, Eugene. I know it's of South African provenance,
so it's good to have a source for seeds.

However, I am looking for a fairly mature plant to go with the other
two big ones that survived.

Any leads to a So. Cal/LA nursery, whether wholesale or retail,
would be welcomed.

Have been calling local (LA area) nurseries
but nobody seems to have heard of it.

Landscaper put in 3 last year. One died.
She declined to replace it. I don't know where she got it;
probably a wholesale to the trade place. We are out of touch.

Conducted an extensive Web search, but no luck;
very few mentions of the shrub (also sold as Erica Melanthera
or Christmas heather).

Any referrals/sources welcome. TIA
