Problem finding some Northern natives... creeping snowberry & crowberry

[UrbanWild]

I've been searching for days online for live plants of the following:

Gaultheria hispidula (creeping snowberry) - I want this particular species. Some relatives of this species seem available but I haven't found live plants of this species so far.

Empetrum nigrum (black crowberry) - I've found seeds but no actual plants.

None of the large places seem to carry them and I've been skunked so far looking at smaller sellers. Can anyone point me to either/both of these species listed on any of your more local nurseries/sites?

Good news...Amazon has individual Snowberry plants for sale

Amazon.com : Snowberry (Symphoricarpos Albus) Plant 1-2 Year Old. : Patio, Lawn & Garden

Bad news...I couldn't find any live crowberry plants only seed.

Thanks! But that's a different species. Alas, that's part of the problem with common names... And several days of me searching for sources!

Well, I tried.

I appreciate it. Not sure why these two are giving me such a hard time.

I may have located both finally. Thanks all for reading. I'll post back once I get them in hand.

I was thinking of asking friend @pepper2.0 to join the hunt as he is expert at searching...but glad you located them
