I live in the Sarasota, Fl area and am trying to locate a seller of this fabulous plant. I always had it in my summer garden up north and for some reason I cannot find a vendor in my area down here. Although the U. of Florida has it on its recommended list, it is impossible to find in the Sarasota area. It's a great filler for hanging baskets, although I plant it in the ground and watch the beautiful and feathery silver gray/green foliage take over and fill up the bare spots in the most beautiful way. Unlike sweet potato vines, helichrysum does not attract slugs or pests, does not have to dead-headed, and is drought tolerant. So how come I can't find it down here? Also, I can't find ageratum in this area, although its brilliant blue flowers make it a real eye-catcher in flower beds.
