OK have found the RHS Garden article on hose-in-hose I remembered (March
2003 p172) and sadly they only quote what has already been noted - only UK
suppliers are Three Counties Nurseries and Barnhaven seeds over in St
Sebastien, France. (www.barnhavenprimroses.com)

Colours were initially silver, cream, yellow, gold, red, purple and rose.
More experimental colours are also available (sky blue, gentian blue, pink,
salmon and bright red). They said availability would get better after last
June.

sorry - I haven't any more clues :-(
