Dom - Tilebarn nursery grow this & they will post to anywhere in the EU:

However, they don't seem to have stock at present. Try next year?

Tilebarn is a great nursery to be sure, but I have known them for around 20 years (well over half my life) and they have never had C. parviflorum available despite repeated asking.

I have 2 plants, however, one from paul Christian (very small....) and another from Ashwood nurseries, Kingswinford, W.Midlands - the latter offer this occasionally.

Final suggestion is use the online RHS plant finder - I seem to recall there are another one or two places I noticed on there (when I looked a few years ago) that do it

I had one from Tilebarn about 25 years ago - the last one perhaps? (Needless to say I killed it fairly quickly).

I can spare a seedling.I see mine sown in July08 have just germinated. No seed was set this year. My plants originate from a collection of seed I made in 1989 on the Zigana Pass
Picture of one of the plants attached in flower this year
