I bought mine at a specialist lavender growers near Evesham in the UK:
Martin Tustin, Bowers Hill Nursery, Willersey Road, Badsey, Near Evesham,
Worcs, Tel: 01386 832124
He sells beautiful large healthy plants of about 40 different lavenders -
Last summer I took away a car full as his prices are very reasonable!
Norfolk lavender also list it - they have the national collection of
lavender there.
If you are in the UK, the plantfinder lists another 20 or so nurseries - if
you tell me where you are I can look up your most local if you like.
