CLOSED: HAVE: Dinnerplate Hibiscus, Potato Vines, Mints

I'm hoping to do a few more trades before the season is over. I have a lot of plants to trade. They're healthy and rooted. The only cuttings will be from the Blackheart potato vine and those will probably root in transit.

I'm looking for well rooted plants in return. I'm particularly interested in unique trees and shrubs as I have only two trees in my entire yard. Any unusual perennials are welcome too. I'm not into tropicals or wildflowers. And I don't do houseplants at all. I just have no room in my little house.

I ship plants in a box by priority mail and expect the same in return. I don't mind if you want more of my stuff than you can send me if I'm getting something that I really want for my gardens. Feel free to add seeds to your wish list, as I have an abundance of most of them that I'm offering for trade.

Also, keep in mind that I'm in the south, and what is common to you on the east or west coast or up north or wherever may be "unusual" to me down here. So feel free to offer things that you may think is common. It may be I never even heard of the plant before and might fall in love with it.

I'm primarily interested in:

Japanese irises
Double peonies
Lorapetalums - Chinese Fringe flower
named daylilies with a love/romance theme, as well as "Johnny Cash" and "Meet Joe Black"
Unusual hardy hibiscus (like Turn of the Century)
Golden Rain tree
Gingko tree
Beautyberry bush (Callicarpa)
Candy Lilies (Pardancanda)
Kniphofia - Torch lilies
Scilla Hispanica - Spanish bluebells, wood hyacinths
Bottlebrush tree
Cimicifuga - bugbane
Purple Crape myrtle
White Crape myrtle
Rice Paper plant
Purple Majest or Black Leaf Millet
Acanthus
Black Elderberry
Yellow Crocosmias
Chocolate Mint
Other unusual mints
Acuba - Gold Dust
Penstemons other than Husker Red
Toad Lilies
Variegated named hostas
Iris Bewilderbeast
Iris Tiger Honey
Confederate Rose Hibiscus
Amorphallus
Plants with unusual foliage
Plants with a love/romance theme for a wedding garden
Unusual Hen & Chicks
Unusual Sedums
Frontline and Heartgard for an 80 lb dog

SEEDS I have to trade:

All my seeds are easy to grow. With most, they can just be scattered in a prepared bed. (Get the bed free of weeds and grass, cover with mulch, and scatter the seeds on top of the mulch in winter or early spring.) Bigger seeds can just be poked into the ground. They fall off my plants each year and pop up the next spring/summer.

I would be interested in the following:
Daylilies:
Red Ribbons
Wynn
Grape Adventure

Seeds:
Hyacinth Bean - White (10)
Please check out my trade list and see if there is anything you would like to trade for and I will ck if available.

Butterfly,
I would be interested in trading Daylilies, hibiscus in plant or seeds. Please have a look at my have list..
I have some things that aren't listed such as crepe myrtle in several colors, cedar trees, and I also have 4 different Hardy Hibiscus. I have white(Dixie Bell) in seeds or cuttings, light pink, dark pink, (I think Lord Baltimore) and the Luna.
I also have some beautiful Rose of Sharon- Minerva and Freedom. I have seeds for Minerva and cuttngs of Freedom. Let me know if any of that interests you.
Thanks,
Mechelle

I'm sorry to be so long in getting back to you two. I was in the ER on Mon and haven't been myself this week.

Bward, I've sent you a dmail.

Mechelle, I have most of what you have, and I'm not looking for cuttings or seeds. I can't seem to root cuttings. But thank you for the offer.

I do have some Hollyhock seeds in Chaters Double Magenta if you'd like those. also Rose of Sharon Minerva seeds...

Anyone else want to do a last minute trade? I'd like to do a couple more before the season is over. I'm looking mostly for unusual shrubs and trees.

Am I just too late in the season? It doesn't look like many folks are trading here. It finally stopped raining in my area, so I can now get out and dig and plant.

I have little baby rooted hydrangea Quick Fire growing, and now is a terrific time to plant one. Could you send me SPV next spring? Or is that too nuts?

Hi Carrie, I'm afraid hydrangeas don't like my yard yet. It's full sun. I'm trying to create some shade, but until I do, I've killed just about all hydrangeas I've brought home. Thanks for the offer though.

PF says it can take full sun. Oh well.

It would have to take full sun and drought, as I don't water and we often don't get rain for weeks. Hydrangeas usually do all right here...until our first drought. Then they croak. Thanks for the offer though.

I have
3 rooted black elderberry
lite and dark pink double peony un named
Acanthus
and voodoo lilys

but i'm interested in the dinnerplate hibiscus
thought they were plants
now I see they are seeds
so that wont work
and I'm very seed challenged

the only other thing on your list I'd be interested in is
Arundo Donax

Hi Crestedchik,

I'd love to trade with you if you could find something else on my list that would interest you. Would you be interested in any of the daylilies? I could send you the arundo donax, but I'd like to do a large trade.

I took some dinnerplate hib cuttings a few weeks ago. I can check on those tomorrow and see if any rooted. I also stuck some Blushing Bride rose of sharons and I think they rooted. They are a double pale pink, almost white, but just pink enough to be pink.

Below is a picture. What other plants might you be looking for? I may have some that I can share with you, but not enough to put them on my trade list for everyone.

I checked on my hibs and none have rooted yet. Bummer! The stems are still green and putting on new leaves, so I'm stumped. Maybe they just need more time. I even have Fireball (one of my faves--blooms stay open ALL day!) and Plum Crazy. But still, no roots on the cuttings yet. Maybe we can do some trading next year.

that would work
I'm just looking for unusual plants

but I really dont care for day lilies

Butterfly Chaser, for me, it's quite late in the season, although I'm still taking a chance with some less expensive things.

I have Chocolate Mint, Pineapple Mint, a bunch of interesting Sedum & Semps (not named, so I'd have to do photos), a variety of DL and Iris, some NOID double Peony (several kinds, I have to take photos next year), and some other things, including a LOT of hostas at some point (had some trouble with another person from another site claiming they are infected with HVX, but no evidence of that & he only claimed that after I ratted him out for not sending what he owed me in a swap. So I'm waiting to be sure that they are healthy). Maybe we could work out something for next spring? That would be great for me.

Would be interested in your Silver Mint and Spice Mint, some of your DL, and your Hollyhock seeds. Let me know...

Ptilda, we can get together in the spring and see what we each have and want. I may not even have the silver mint in the spring. It's taken over a bed (Yes, I stupidly planted it in ground), and I'm about to erradicate it all. It's not one of my favorite mints. I only have room for a few special mints, so I'm culling the herd. I'm beginning to view the silver mint as a "weed". I may have some ginger mint to share in the spring. It's my favorite mint. Mmmm Mmmmm.

When I get your SASBE for the seeds in my post on the seed trading forum, I'll include some extra hollyhocks for you.

NancyAnn

NancyAnn, Thanks! That would be great. Any chance you'd want to put a sliver of the silver mint in the envelope too before "eradicating" it? :) I'd love to put some pots of this out around the outside of the gardens to deter the deer...

I'll see what I can do. If I can find some with small enough root systems, I will, but the roots tend to spread massively where I have it planted. If possible, I will include a start or two for you.

Perfect! Thanks. This will help for making my deer-barrier (plants deer don't like, around the outside of the garden, about 5' wide, to help encourage the deer to go away & leave my hostas & other goodies alone!)
