    Hi
    I'm looking to buy a couple of these around the Cork area - I've tried Hanleys and Griffins garden centres - anyone got any other suggestions?

    I saw a good selection of grasses at Hillside nursery in Glounthaune. They don't have that one listed on their website but I think they had many more varieties in stock than are listed there. It might be worth giving them a ring to check.

    Have you actually asked them if they'll order them in? A good garden centre will get whatever you need.

    No worry. I hope it grows well for you. Only found out about them recently myself as well when I asked about Chilean fire bush at Fota garden centre in Midleton. It's a bit off the beaten track but will definitely be calling back there again.

    I actually preferred the look of:

    so bought these instead.
