All mine was salvaged from an area around an old stone barn that was dug away when the barn was converted to a house. I don't think I've ever seen it for sale around here come to think about it. I've managed to save a couple of pots from the vine weevils so I'll be trying to get it established in the garden after it's finished flowering and hope it survives better in the soil.

Take care of that London Pride @wild edges its becoming rare. Have been looking for some all spring and no GC or small plants man is stocking it. While talking to one of the plants men he said it has gone out of fashion and no one was keeping it these days, so look after it.🙂
If you're still after some London Pride I saw that Wyevale have a similar plant in their alpine collection at the moment. It's a variegated form of S. Cuneifolia, slightly smaller than London Pride and with smoother leaves but a really nice looking plant. It's sometimes referred to as 'lesser London Pride' apparently.

@purplerallim I took a pic for comparison just in case it wasn't what you were after. S.Cuneifolia on the right next to my last surviving London Prides on the left. The LPs should be a bit bigger once they've recovered some more.

They're supposed to have a similar flower according to my saxifrage book but it looks like they might be later to flower. 25cm flower spikes with numerous white flowers with red spots apparently.
