For the record, the Organic Gardening Catalogue has it.  It is also  known under its French name Merveil de Quatre Saisons  and Seeds of Italy sell it as Quattro Stagioni.

Cheers,

Gillie

Try them!

The organic seed catalogue has a lot of unusual varieties and Seeds of Italy packets contain huge quantities.

(Personally I don't like 4 seasons lettuces - too floppy).

Cheers,

Gillie

I have just used Nicky's Nursery for some Cauliflower seed and was slightly disappointed that they took over two weeks to arrive.
