I'm pulling my hair out.....

or very nearly!! I am trying to find a stockist of Cotoneaster lacteus (Parney's cotoneaster). I've been searching for about 4 hours now and I'm ready to quit - just too tired!! Found many wholesale nurseries that do supply it but no retailers. Begging for help............

Louisa, try Arbor & Bloom: http://gardenwatchdog.com/c/349/

Also try PlantOregon: http://www.plantoregon.com/us.html Their website says they are a wholesale company, but will sell to other customers for a $100 minimum.

If you want to try growing from seed, try Carter Seeds: http://gardenwatchdog.com/c/76/

It sounds like you have your heart set on this species, but if you're open to considering other species, try Forestfarm: http://gardenwatchdog.com/c/25/ as they have several listed.

Phew!! Thanks Terry!! I will check them out!! I have just contacted Plantsman to see whether he might have it or manage to obtain it!! Now I must get off here and cook!!

No luck with the links Terry but thanks!!

here's a company in UK that sells them (not sure if they ship to US but you can check it out)

Louisa, do you mean the links didn't work, or they don't carry the species? I know I saw C. lacteus (C. parneyi) in each source I listed. Let me know if I can help you further - I know how it can be to look high and low for just the right plant.

Louisa try http://www.forestfarm.com/ They have it in last years catalog ... which I have right here. One gallon is $7. I haven't ordered from this company so I don't know how the quality is. They do seem to have EVERYTHING tho. The catalog is about an inch thick!

Louisa, here you go

Would you believe when I clicked onto the shrub, the page was unavailable!! The second site was great but the plants are smaller!! Fantastic sites and thanks to you and all you wonderful louisa rescuers for the links. They look so good and will check them for further 'needs'!
