Where can I get a cutting, or plant, of Tolmiea, in the UK? Either the variegated king, or the plain green one, please. I've looked on the internet, to no avail.

I've found quite a few nurseries selling Tolmiea menziesii by searching for 'Taff's Gold' (which is one of its many names). However most of them don't seem to offer mail order.

If you happen to be near Leeds, try here:

If you're around Essex or Cambridgeshire, this might help:

This nursery is in Suffolk. It does offer mail order but there's a minimum �15 order and �10.50 carriage:

This is in Gloucestershire. There's an indication that the owner might be persuaded to accept mail order:

If you get really stuck, send me an email:

I live just down the road from Shrubland Park Nurseries, so I could buy a plant and mail it to you.
