Had a look on the internet for you here are a few sites that do them.

Crocus (http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/perennials/other-perennials/classid.1000000009/)

Thompson-Morgan (http://plants.thompson-morgan.com/product/5585/1)

eBay Search (http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=bowles+mauve)

Myddelton House was home to E A Bowles (1865 – 1954) who devoted much of his life to the creation of the Garden. As an enthusiastic collector and accomplished plantsman Bowles discovered and selected many plants, in particular unusual varieties, many of which can still be seen in the Garden today.
