    Hi

    Finally had my plans through for my garden and going through all the plants. I am not able to find any info on this one though.

    Cytisus x Cypuris

    I can see it is crossed with something and can find common Cytisus.

    Anyone help as i need 17 of them.....

    Cheers

    I think that it should read x cyprius.

    If you have a large plant order, contact a supplier with the whole list. You may get them cheaper than a garden centre.

    Hope this Helps!

    Hi bilabonic. As plant1star says the propername is Cytisus x Cyprius. So it might be worth Googling that - there seem to be several entries - but a quick look couldn't tie one down.

    It sounds as though someone has drawn up some plans for your garden. I would ask them about supplying plants. They are unlikely to specify a plant that cannot be sourced. I suspect that they may use it on a regular basis. If I was designing a garden for someone, I would generally only specify plants that I knew well and had used before.

    Hi bilabonic, I would Google 'wholesale plant nurseries'. If there is not a suitable one near you, most of them do mail order.

    To find specific plants, the RHS website has a plant finder facility that lists nurseries supplying any particular plant.

    http://www.rhs.org.uk/rhsplantfinder/plantfinder.asp

    Good luck

    Cheers. Seen that many a time from the mootorway. Will get in touch with them. All the plants seem common enough and reading up a lot can be divided or grown from seed but can i wait.....
