Hi Ole,
Vojtech Holubec currently offers Trollius lilacinus seed in his new seed list. Getting seed to germinate is problematic (even with gibberellic acid) and growing it on is very difficult. Tr. komarovii/Hegemone micrantha is also on the list and is slightly easier to grow.
Vojtech also lists some Saussurea including the spectacular gossypiphora (?growable in lowland gardens) but not involucrata.
Cremanthodium brunneopilosum is occasionally available on the SRGC seed exchange (last time was 2016/17 list). I have grown Cr. lineare which looks fairly similar but I think there are smaller species available that are more attractive.
Good luck with your search.
Cremanthodium lineare
Cremanthodium rhodocephalum

Unimaginably beautiful plants. ..Steve. My deepest respect.
Cremanthodium Seeds were available last year at http://www.chinesealpines.com.
Unfortunately I did not order any. The new catalogue will be published at the end of November.
I lie in wait.

Hi Steve,
thank you for your answer. Your plant are stunning! I have sown Cremanthodium last year. I know the germination is very problematic. What do you do that they germinate?

Steve Garvie:
Hi Ole,
Cremanthodium germinate best from fresh seed. When sown in the Autumn and exposed to winter cold germination occurs with rising Spring temperatures.
Bjørnar Olsen and August Wu offer a good range of Cremanthodium. Last year they offered seed of Saussurea involucrata, Trollius lilacinus and 5 different collections of Cremanthodium.
Here is their website: http://chinesealpines.com
