I'm not 100% certain. I got the original seed five years ago and saved seed
since, and as I recall either http://www.gourmetseed.com or
http://www.italianseedandtool.com/ had them back then Since starting them
I've wondered if they were actually Costoluto Fiorentino which is less
ribbed. But now you can find them at
http://www.seedsofchange.com/garden_center/product_details.aspx?item_no=PS10987
or several less known companies if you google costoluto genovese seed.
I was growing in NE TX until ten years ago and miss the milder winters there
with eight month growing season. The only problem I have with Charontais is
the very narrow window for harvesting to get that incredible fragrance. Like
maybe a day or two.
