Question from
Nick Broom
Do You know where in the UK I might be able to buy white cytisus multiflorus seed ? I believe that most propogation is done through cuttings and am finding it almost impossible to find any supplier of seed for this shrub.
My wife and I recently got married and we had this in our buttonholes and in my wife's hair arrangement and we would like to send some seed in our 'thank you' letters.
Many thanks
