It sounds like one of these: "Oh dear, you're the third person that's asked for that today, but we don't stock it. It's just not popular enough, you see!"
As I said on the other thread, if you'd like some cuttings, send me your address. But if I'm flooded with requests, I might have to ration them.
I've just had to dig some out of an area that had become horribly weed infested. Of course I had to attempt to take some cuttings. The material wasn't the best so I used my new technique of soaking material in a dish of water overnight before planting them in a tray of compost. I do hope they take they're such a reminder of Grandparents borders, and I love the "fairy" flowers. My soaking technique developed when I refound several pots of named sempervivums that had utterly dried out. I scrapped off with my nail all the dead bits and then plumped them up....very successful strike rate
From our experience it's difficult to abuse. We once had a rockery that's now a London Pridery. Just pull a handful with a bit of root and it'll transplant OK.
My neighbour just cleared a load of it from a border. It's almost an invasive weed here. As said - just pull bits off and plant. Almost impossible for it not to grow.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
