Hi Dave thanks for writing. Piscopo does not get it - I checked with him
first thing. Sherries tried to get it for me but his supplier does not
keep it in stock. I have also checked with local online websites where
maltese gardeners sell and exchange stuff. No one keeps this plant
anymore. Apparently its place has been taken over by coleus as it is in
much more demand due to its varieties in colour and less demand for
care considering the local climate. Believe me I have tried every
possible source. This plant is so forgotten here that there are garden
shops and even gardeners who do not know what it is or that it used to
be grown here.




Last idea
Try contacting Dr Joseph Buhagiar at The Argotti Botanic Gardens,
I have a feeling I saw it there a few years ago, and as part of the
university they may well maintain their plant collection.
