I need cuttings of the lav/blue cats whiskers (orthosiphon stamineus) I have the white form or we can arrange a trade of some type. Tanx! :-)
I need the blue form of these...
Wow-that is really a cool plant!
I'll second that!
Kyle, do you have a source for either?
i will second tiG
dori, I found an online nursery and have asked if they have both, I'll let you know!
Eclipse..this site says they are only perennial to Zone 7..do yours survive over the winter..I notice you are in Zone 5a

tig, I'd like to know too. Tried yesterday to find some and could only find one site that sold them by the flat. Just a few too many for one person and don't think there would be that many people interested in them to get rid of all of them. Somewhere around $25 a flat plus $14 shipping. Makes it a little much for ordering. Sure do like them though.
I found them at shadyacres.com, but the handling fee is too steep for me, I only need one or two things.
Eclipse, I have the white one also, however, mine died back this winter, even though I kept it in the greenhouse. Can you tell me if it should come back. No signs of life as of yet. Thanks
Starzz its an annual here..can be ordered from Logess or Kartuz greenhouse in Calif.
Dee if there is no green its dead.Very easy from Cuttings..I have the white one and start cuttings at work..they root quick and bloom real easy while rooting!
Kyle... they are only lavender and white... see the link...

MaVieRose I need the lav form..some call it blue..some lavender..The dark colored one is what I need.
Thanks for the links! :-)
Kyle ask Evert... maybe he got some... http://www.kolumbus.fi/evert.nylund/seeds.htm#lists
am still looking... ma vie
Bingo!!! here is a source for u Kyle... http://www.shadyacres.com/ if the url does not show, look on herb on common name.
sorry i do not have the plant. but will be more than willing to give a helping hand to find...
I asked her the other day and she does have a few of the lavender, but her handling and shipping are too high for me to just get one or two plants.
I should have come back to this thread a few days ago. I found this site that you have listed MVR, and ordered some cat's whiskers. Thanks, I'm sure others will enjoy this site like I have. :-)
