With something like 'Scarlet Belle,' they are so commonly available that I can't imagine someone trying to pass off something else as 'Scarlet Belle.'
Now if we were talking about a rare high dollar cultivar , something like S. 'Leah Wilkerson,' (at least from what I saw in the bidding wars during the NASC auction!) then I would be VERY careful of the source to ensure that you get what you pay for.
BTW - the 'Scarlet Belle' plants in my outdoor bog are monsters...almost two feet across, with heads the size of golf balls. These make nice low-growing additions to a backyard bog!
Good growing!
