I haven’t followed up on it and I don’t grow any of them myself. You’re right to ask for it after so much time. It’s strange, I don’t see it listed on any of the of the supply lists of the growers I mentioned back then. If it would grow normally I’d expect it to be available by now, at least in small numbers. You could ask any of those growers (and Warmerdam as well) to see if they could sell one or ask when they’ll become ‘for sale’. Sometimes they don’t list the things where they only have a few of.

Here where we battle late frosts every spring, VS is decidedly more susceptible to carpal damage than LC, so I’ve almost no seedlings from it as a pod parent yet, and don’t know if I ever will. An aspect of it’s ‘Blushing Princess’ heritage perhaps, as BP is another who’s carpals are easily damaged by late frost, here on the High Desert.
