I've seen them sold in regular garden centres but I opted to get blue thistle intead.

Have you tried Thompson & Morgan http://www.tmseeds.com

Cearaqc,

I have erinyngium seeds from a trade, so I can only go by the trader's label, which says its 36" and blue. This is tall for a sea holly-- the ones in my garden only get about 18".

You're welcome to some for a SASE. Send me an e-mail if you're interested.

I do have some sea holly seeds but they aren't as bright blue as the picture you attached. They're like a metallic blue but still very pretty. If you still want some seeds, I can put a package together for you. Someone had sent me seeds years ago and the plants have been coming back for the last 6 or 7 years. So you're welcome to some seeds.

I am sure I bought some of this seed from a big box store a few years ago. It was Fothergills (sp?) seed... It did not germinate, but I am certain that was my error, not the seed itself. I know my MIL up north grows this plant, but she would not have any seed from it now...
She does not collect seed, and usually mows down the garden at the end of the growing season...

I have erengian(?) alpinium if you are still looking.

Check out the Seeds of Diversity web site for some of the heritage or unusual seed suppliers listed under vegies and fruits in the upper right corner of the home page. I have found some heirloom and forgotten seeds from many of these smaller suppliers. Good luck

Thanks for the replies!

I'm going to be sending out a couple of emails.

Thanks again
