This fantastic plant was shown at AGS East  Lancs yesterday. The owners suggested Norman Stevens of Cambridge Bulbs might have stock for sale? Does anyone have an email address

He doesn't do modern technology. Use snail mail.

just to inform...Asarum campaniflorum was described 2004 here in this pdf-file (http://foc.bio-mirror.cn/novon/novo-14-02-239.pdf).

i grow 2 plants but had no luck outside in my garden here in z6b unlike e.g. maximum, magnificum or others. campaniflorum is hardy but grows very slowly (1 or 2 leaves per season) but too often snails prevent growth. so i potted it again + keep it there till it will be strong.

I've recently found a mail order which was selling this but they charge 25 quid or something for P&P so I can't afford this.....other mail order is rareplants.co.uk but they don't have any in stock right now..... :'(
