Forked bluecurls (Trichostema dichotomum, Lamiaceae)

This plant grew rapidly and put out the first blooms early in September. The plant blooms early in the morning; by noon the blossoms have all withered away. The bottom photo shows the seeds, resembling tiny eggs in a nest. There are usually 4 seeds in a cup; seeds are about 1 mm in diameter and turn black when mature.

Hi, I want to try Phyla nodiflora but cannot find a source for live plants. Does anyone know where/how I could get some? Bare root (mail order) is fine...but I'm not good growing from seeds.
