There are a few places you can get seed mail order.
They are listed in the CP listserv, uh, lists. You
can get the list by mailing to the listserver this
list is based on, and in the text of the message put
this line "get CP cp.suppliers". Alan Lowrie has a
wide selection, but his prices are high and his seed
may be of variable quality. Your best bet is probably
to join the ICPS for $20.00 a year. This will get
you 4 way-cool colour issues per year about growing
CP, new species, etc., plus you'll have access to the
ICPS seed bank, where you can get seed for $1.00 US
per pack.
