Can anyone supply me with the seed of Omphalodes nitida and instructions on growing the same?

Never heard of this one David. Where does it come from?

I should look before I leap. According to the RHS Dictionary it is a synonym for O. lusitanica, comes from Spain and Portugal and is a perennial, 1-2 ft in height, blue flowers, for cool shady places. Sounds nice. It is listed on the Bio Index as nitida but not as lusitanica.

It's been some time, are you still looking for seeds of Omphalodes nitida?
Imagine I've registered here just because you asked...  ;D

 That's as good a reason to register as any, Biobella! I will make sure David learns of your offer.

Thanks, Maggi! As I just have your attention - is there a thread where newbies can introduce themselves? I couldn't find any...

Oups - found it!
