You might try Ginny Hunt/Seedhunt for Cuphea seed. She was selling a decade or more ago as Cuphea viscosa. We used to sell it in Tiverton that long ago, believe Brian Magowan/Blue Meadows did too, and Kathy Tracy/Avant Gardens may still. In New England it works well as a reliably self- sowing annual.
Best,
Ed Bowen
