A few weeks ago on Gardeners World Monty planted some Vinca Minor Rubram plants which appealed. However I am having difficulty tracking down suppliers.
Help!!

RHS Plantfinder is what you need.
google it
it's 'Rubrum'
In the sticks near Peterborough
Have already tried, but no luck!
Sorry, it's 'Rubra' but irrelevant.
Try it as 'Atropurpurea' I think it's the same thing
In the sticks near Peterborough

As nut says, look at different names.
They've got them on Crocus:

Lucid
£5.99 for a 9cm pot????????
that's basically a rooted cutting
Thanks all but the Vinca Atropurporea is the "common one", not Red. Will just have to keep on searching!
Vinca minor 'atropurpurea' is definitely a plummy/wine colour - also known as
Vinca minor 'rubra'.
The common blue is just Vinca minor.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I hope nobody is suggesting that Mr Don may have given the wrong name?
