    Hi Intel,

    I've never heard of " Illumination ",
    but I can tell you a little bit generally about " Browallia "....

    It's a half hardy annual or perennial a member if the same family as tomatoes/potatoes/peppers etc, totally unrelated to Impatiens ( Busy Lizzie ).

    It's usually grown as a house plant from seed over here.

    Thanks Anthony,

    I did look at Browallia and these are an hybird of that plant, the appeal really about Endless Illumination was that they prefer part shade or shade to full sun....which opens up areas for a hanging baskets etc that normally would not be suitable for these types of plants plus they don't require dead heading...........even on Ebay if you do a search on Browallia, there is only one UK seller and all the rest sell from USA or Australia.

    Shame has it's such a nice looking plant , I am going to buy some Heirloom Browallia Bush Violet Amethyst seeds from the UK seller on Ebay..............just to see what the performance
    is like :)
