On the page for St Cecilia (start at Plants Search / Lookup in the left-hand menu of the helpmefind home page), clicking on the Buy From tab does show some nurseries in the USA. I don't know whether they still stock it.

I started this one as a band and was in shade for several years and did fine; but couple of years ago, moved it to a sunny spot facing east and it has really excelled with both with vigor and blooms. It's one of my favorites and has wonderful smell.

I bought St. Cecilia as own-root and it died in my zone 5a winter in heavy clay, I suspect St. Cecilia prefers loamy/sandy soil, and its roots can't handle my gluey & wet clay.
Thanks for any help, it's good to know what type of soil (clay, loam, sandy) is best for which own-root. The pH doesn't matter, since I have acidic rain pH 4.5, as well as alkaline tap water at pH 9 (I can easily fix my tap water with acid-fertilizer).

I am trying to locate a nursery that carries St. Cecilia and you mentioned that you had purchased one. Please give me more info on nursery, etc.

It is has grown back every year for me in upstate NY, also zone 5a, but does not grow very big, and rarely blooms.

I dug the soil around St. Cecilia. I over-compensated .. it was stingy in a wet-potting soil, so I made my clay really fluffy with pine-bark, and it got too acidic.
