we have a man who has dicount plants that he sells from the local layby. often they are B&Q's surplus stock. these came from a lincolnshire grower, though he was selling them as a new form of phygelius. bought them anyway and then asked here and a name was forth coming :o)
i potted them up and in a week or two they will end up in the planting schemes.

if you are in the usa you may have a similar website.

I think it will be something that will start appearing in pot bedding in due course Millie. Seed may well become available too. Will have to look into it myself as it does look a smashing plant though an annual so probably good flowering performance but dies at the end of the season.
