JUSTICIA BRANDEGEANA - Does anyone know where I could buy Shrimp Plant seeds from? I looked on various seed suppliers sites such as Suttons Seeds, but no luck. I have never seen a Shrimp Plant here in Menorca and would love to pick up a packet of seeds when next back in UK or get them sent via the internet. Thanks!

Wait, wait!! Shrimp Plant (Justicia brandegeeana) doesn't come in blue, Ken. Here's the first source I cam upon:

They do ship to Spain, Ninap, just click the "more destinations" link next to the US shipping cost. There are probably others, too, I just didn't look that far.

Hi - thanks everyone for your replies - I also believe that they do not come in blue, and the blue ones are actually Cerinthe Purpurascens, which I have grown for many years. I am after the reddy/pinky variety, which I have always thought of as a shrimp plant. Thanks Tugbrethil - I will follow the link you supplied! Thanks again everyone, Nina.

Hi Tugbrethil - just checked the link and they are out of stock at the moment but I have sent them an email to ask them to let me know when they are back in stock! Thanks again, Nina.
