It (Veronica Sweet Lullaby) appears to be an exclusive introduction by Walters, just now (late 2010) being introduced to the trade. Walters sells plugs/liners to growers who then grow them on for retail sales.

So, next year is the time to look for it. If you have a good nursery near you (one that grows on perennials), talk to them now... tell them it's a Walters intro, and would they consider growing it for next season. Many garden centers / nurseries must put together their order this fall for plants they want to grow out next spring...

If that doesn't work out, contact your favorite large garden centers in the spring, and ask if they can order it from the suppliers then (the wholesale growers will hopefully order and grow this out for sale to garden centers in the 'bud and bloom' stage).

Thanks! I thought that's what I might need to do, but since I'm totally new to mail-order except with bulbs and roses I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone knew more than I.

I think for this year I'll just pick up her parent, Giles van Hees, that one I can easily find.

I didn't think to approach my fave local nurseries, thanks for the tip.

Cheers!
