Re: Phlomis russeliana

Hi Debbie,

I checked the Andersen Horticultural Library's Source List of Plants and
Seeds, 4th ed., and Phlomis russelliana is listed available from the
following commercial sources:

As plants only:

White Flower Farm ($4 catalog, appeared in their 1995 spring catalog)
PO Box 50
Litchfield, CT 06759-0050
800-503-9624

Busse Gardens ($2 for catalog, appeared in their 1993 catalog)

And wholesale only from:

Native Suns Wholesale Nursery (1995-96 catalog)

Good luck!

The Source List of Plants & Seeds is a terrific resource for finding unusual
plants.  It's available for $34.95 from:
