Trailing Coleus

Any know of any brittish suppliers of trailing coleus.I know they are not truly trialing but have a more prostrate habit than most.Been on Dibleys and the usual sites but no luck yet.I can of course trade mostly houseplants and have access to quite a variety.

thanks Mick

 

I would also be interested... plenty of suppliers in USA, but no luck in UK so far.

 

Used to grow a couple of trailing type variaties many years ago in the Parks Conservatory,cannot recall the names now but will try and find out where they might be available .They had small leaves and very useful plants ...

I have been given these names as 'Trailing' type coleus. Has anyone ever heard of them as such?
Black Heart
Lord Falmouth
Pheasants Eye
Picluralu
Wishey Tapestry is Best

I think lord Falmouth is 'Trailing'

Try this site:

http://www.coleusfinder.org

I checked the above list and it provided UK sources of Black Heart, Lord Falmouth
and Wisley (Wishey?) Tapestry plants.

 

Thanks for the help guys but still no luck in finding any suppliers,so frustrating!

 

I did find that Coleus site,very useful ..
The five varieties I mentioned are available at a nursery /gardencentre in Shotton Colliery County Durham.
Rooted cuttings are £1.50 each plus postage and package and they hold a National Collection
Thier email is
[email protected] .
The strangest thing being I worked there for about 14months about 30years ago ..

Thanks Dave I have emailed the nursery now so fingers crossed.I will let you know how I get on.

 

Still no luck yet . have emailed one nursery with no reply. Will keep trying.

 

I think i will give up , too much hard work and time wasted e mailing nurseries with no replies,
Thanks for all your help guys

 

Hi Mick .
I got a reply from Horns Garden Centre .. Rooted cuttings £1.50 each plus postage, strange they didn't reply to you ..?
