I'm cleaning out my seed box and would like to trade my seeds for some well-rooted plants. No seeds or cuttings please. I don't have time to baby anything.
None for postage at this time.
Most packs will contain an ample amount of seeds. The cannas contain only 5 seeds each. The vines will contain 10 or more seeds. All others will contain 20 to 500 seeds. With some seeds, you'll have extras to trade for something else you might want. All of these seeds were gathered from my gardens last fall and have been in the freezer, so they're ready to sow. All were open pollinated.
I have four "lots". Each lot will contain these 24 packs--each type of seed is sealed in a small ziplock and labeled:
Amaranthus - Celosia Plumosa - Yellow
Amaranthus - Celosia Plumosa - Pampas Plume - Fuscia
Amaranthus Oeschberg - Upright Love Lies Bleeding (one of my faves, with burgundy foliage, 7ft tall)
Fountain Grass - Black Moudry
Canna - Tropical Sunrise
Canna - Tama Tulipa
Hibiscus - Luna Blush (bicolor - white & pink - pictured below)
Hibiscus - Dinnerplate Lt Pink
Hollyhocks - Black Watchman
Hollyhocks - Coral Pink
Hollyhocks - Lemon Blush (frilly lemon with faint pink blush - figleaf)
Hollyhocks - Blushing Bride (light pink with bright pink center)
Stachys Byzantine - Lamb's ears - soft gray foliage--you'll want to pet it!
Japanese Iris - Purple - no name
Lemon Mint
Perilla
Cinnamon Basil - Mmmm, smells so good - open the pack and smell it
Bronze Fennel - beautiful smoky foliage, attracts black swallowtails
Vitex - lavender/blue
Vitex - pale pink, almost white - unusual
Red Cypress Vine
Purple Hyacinth Bean Vine
Japanese Morning Glory - Hatsu Arashi - blue
Some of the things I'm looking for are listed below. I'm in zone 7-8 and am working on a wedding garden, a tropical garden, a serenity garden and a butterfly garden. So I'm looking for HARDY plants to suit these themes.
I WANT:
Any plants for a wedding/love themed garden--daylilies or irises with a love-themed name, whites, pinks, etc.
Any plants that LOOK tropical but are hardy
Named Louisiana Irises
Named Daylilies
Hardy hibiscus -- Turn of the Century, Confederate Rose Hib, White Texas Star Hib
Hardy palmettos
Hardy Brugmansias (Angel Trumpets)
Beauty Berry bush
Chaste Tree - any color but pale pink
Ornamental Grasses (have quite a few, looking for some I don't have)
Purple Majesty Millet, Black Leaf Millet
Black Lace Elderberry
Amorphallus
Bottlebrush tree
Japanese maples with unusual foliage
Black Magic or Illustris Elephant Ears or other EEs hardy in zone 7
Anything with unusual foliage
Big Metal Sun Sculptures, butterfly art, mosaics, your own interesting artwork, birdhouses, etc. (please show me pictures and give measurements)
While I'm not interested in any tropicals, only plants that will survive in zone 7, I AM interested in any plants that "look" tropical. I am open to other interesting perennials, trees, and shrubs. So tempt me.
If interested in trading, please make your best offer.
I've been stiffed a few times recently by people with no feedback. For this reason, if you have no feedback, I'll wait to receive your shipment before I send mine. You can read my feedback and see that I deliver.
