Bob: Two points. 

First, Christine Yeo of Pleasant View indeed doesn't ship beyond the
EU (if even as far as that) but she did and I think still does offer
seed of many of her salvia spp. Ask for her separate seed list. (There
may be details on her web site, which I haven't got round to visiting
yet.)

Second, if someone can think their way through a workable version of
your scheme of plants-in-the-UK/subsequent-seeds-to-US, I'd be happy
to take part/lend a hand in any way that would be useful - growing on
some plants/saving seed/whatever. 

Anyone care to take this a stage further? Could we work the same idea
in reverse - irritatingly unexportable US plants grown on in
US/subsequent seed distributed in UK/Europe/Australia/NZ/wherever? 

It sounds a promising idea to me, given good will all round and some
folks with a little free space/time/energy. (What? Gardeners? Ah
well...)
