| Anni | Aug 02, 2009 | Hi, I love this plant! I would like to buy seeds for my garden in Madeira, Portugal. Do you provide a postal service?
I'm afraid I no longer have this plant, or its seeds. |

I grew mine from seeds a few times. You're right, it's not commonly offered for sale. You can try to trade for it, for example on gardenweb.com. |
