I require a seed  company who sells commercial quantites of Elymus
maganellicum (also known as Agropyron maganellicum) . I require up to
50000 seed. It is a steel blue grass from Chile. (I have tried Jelitto
in Germany)

 I also need similar quantities of Carex petriei seed. This is a New
Zealand native tussock grass.

Hi,

An answer but not seed as far as I know, however, it might lead you on
the right track if you make a direct enquiry.

I have found Agropyron maganellicum from a trade grower in the USA.

However it would appear to be sold as 36 cell trays for about $30 (I
assume shipped to the USA) %0 cell trays also listed bu8t not priced
as far as I can see.

Description follows:

Agropyron magellanicum 
Blue Wheat Grass
This less than common metallic-blue foliaged grass is similar in
appearance to Leymus arenarius, but is clumping rather than running in
nature. It offers a more striking blue color than any other ornamental
grass. Its blue coloring combines well with conifers and works as a
great accent in perennial borders. Prefers moist, well drained soil
and full sun. Grows particularly well in coastal areas.
Height of 1 to 1-1/2 feet. Hardy to zone 6-9.
36 plants per tray   .89 each   32.04 per tray

The following site American Ornamental Perenials looks like it MIGHT,
be able to supply Carex petriei.

No more time to "dig up" more info! Excuse the pun.

One request, can you tell me what you are going to do with this grass
and why these varieties? - the obvious answer is sell for gardens but
you never know!


P.S. Hey Google - any chance of looking at my researchers
application!!
