sourcing Cistus, and others


This is a plant I always find in 4-inch pots when I'm looking for other perennials. I usually find it when I'm looking for lavenders, for example.

Anyway, there were two local nurseries where I could find Cistus ladanifer as of last month. And now it's nowhere to be found. Nary a purpurea, either. Man...

The local sources for patchouli seem to have dried up as well. Not sure what to make of that, if I should just not try to grow it in my side yard (it would go near the hops), or if I just have to keep looking.

Then there was the elusive Camelia sinensis var. assamica I had a chance to order in March, but didn't.
