convolvulus blue ensign

Could anyone tell me where I could find seeds or seedlings of this plant in Australia? I've just seen a photo of it on the American annual forum. I think it would be spectacular in a pot on a balcony but I've never seen it here.

Had to find a photo to see what the attraction was - and, yes, it would look spectacular.

It's listed in the Thompson & Morgan catalogue. Wonder if they can post to Australia.

Will have a look and see if I still have any.

I bought some convolvulus royal ensign in England a few years ago. They were some Unwins seeds. Website is www.unwins-seeds.co.uk. I dont know is they will post them here thought. They grew beautiful in my garden, but being an annual they died. They are very similar to petunia's but with a smaller flower. There were alot of different cottage plants available in England, especially different varieties of plants that we do get here.
Don't know why they don't import more here.
I suppose they think the demand isn't here.

rros, no, I didn't buy them - got them in a trade from OS. I seem to have a vague recollection though of having seen them in a seed catalogue from a few years ago - possibly either Diggers or Kings.
