Larch Cottage Nursery at Melkinthorpe lists them, Rod, and they do mail
order..though that would deprive you of the very great pleasure of a
prolonged visit there ( excellent lunch too, very close to M6 just south
of Penrith). Good service, and almost all the extraordinary range of
plants are propagated onsite. Drool-worthy catalogue is the size of a
chunky paperback.

Tel 01931 712404. email .

Brodick Castle's garden nursery on Arran also has home-propagated I.i
in stock atm..they don't do mail order though.

Funnily I just realised that the woman down the road has got one of
these.. I will be asking her for propagation material the next time I
see her.. Strange how you notice things when you've seen them once!!
