    We got them in our local garden centre last year. We got a great crop from them and just checked them again this evening and they're flying Looking far stronger and healthier.

    Way too late to be planting them now (mine have been in flower for a month and a half, first fruit harvested last week), so it's unlikely any supplier will still have stock. If they do, chances are the plants will be a bit ropey.

    I saw loads in B&Q last week. The big hanging baskets sort rather than the plant them out multipacks.

    Some garden centres will still have them but if you are looking for variety, thinking long term, and want plants that flower at different times to extend your growing season, I’d look for a specialist. English’s Fruit Nursery in Wexford have a great range. But as other posters have said it could be late in the season now, so may have to stick with Woodies or Homebase varieties.
