Merlene,
Thompson & Morgan and Chiltern's both have it but so does Pinetree.
T&M sells a packet of 500 seeds for 2.49 (shipping 2.25), Pinetree
sells 75 seeds for 55 cents (shipping 1.25.) I don't know the
current exchange rate to figure Chiltern's. T&M and Chiltern's
carry many, many more varieties of seed than Pinetree but if Pinetree
has it and I don't need a huge quantity of seeds, I like them.
In this case, Pinetree carries only the purple Hesperis matronalis
while the others carry "Alba" and Hesperis steveniana (greyish
foliage, pale lilac-purple flowers). Chiltern's also has a pale
yellow one, H. lutea. . . All three suppliers have web sites -- any
search engine should find them or e-mail me.
