I searched online but only found Australian vendors, since that is where the hybridizer lives.

Unfortunately I can't find a US vendor for it on TB Finder either:

You might check in with Mid-America Gardens as they bought all of Barry's stock when he retired. He may have one in his breeding stock. If it's the name that is attracting you, there's 'Wicked Good'.. It's very different, but makes a really good impression in the garden..

'Decadence' was one of the parents of 'Truly Wicked'.. Some of the most beautiful hybrids available have it in their lines...

The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that it has never tried to contact us.

I grow Wicked Good, -- I enjoy the vivid neglecta class two tone presented by this cultivar. I have many of this type, and i think WG is, by far, the most attractive. Somewhat of a slow grower for me, but that may be because it prefers a slightly cooler climate than mine, but in any case, I'll give WG another thumbs up

WG is a very slow grower here too, blooms only on occasion.

Politicians are like diapers, they need to be changed often, and for the same reason.

Truly Wicked was available in the Joni Dance in the Wind catalog this year. I am sure she is closed now but you might get in touch with her in the spring. She has a face book page so you can contact her through that. It is very reasonably priced and she is nice to work with. I have ordered from her several times.
