CLOSED: WANTED: Elderberry, Grasses, Tricyrtis, Something Unusual

I'm redesigning my gardens with particular themes and I have lots of named daylilies for trade for other named daylilies and plants that suit the themes of my gardens. I'm looking for some unusual plants, like:

Black Lace Elderberry (Sambucus Nigra)
Sutherland Gold Elderberry (Sambucus Racemosa)
Unusual named Tricyrtis
Unusual hardy hibiscus (like WHITE Texas Star, Confederate Rose, etc)
Rice Paper Plants
Named Louisiana Irises and Japanese Irises
Named Daylilies
White Obedient Plant
Black Cohosh - Black Neglige or Hillside Black Beauty
Two nice well-rooted climbing roses for a wedding arbor (no reds)
Ornamental Grasses (particularly shorter grasses)
Well rooted Corkscrew Willow
Other - introduce me to something new

I'm looking to do larger trades of multiple plants. I won't trade for just one or two plants. I can usually buy them easier and cheaper than packing mine up and paying the postage to ship them.

I send nice, healthy plants and expect the same in return. I do NOT trade for seeds or cuttings. I need well-rooted plants, and that's what you'll get from me.

I ship in a box by priority mail and expect the same in return.

I am currently working on a wedding garden and want to fill it with love-themed plants. I have daylilies like "Bridal Path," "Big Kiss", "Chance Encounter", etc. Would like other plants in a similar theme.

There will be a Honeymoon Suite which will contain tropical-themed plants, like daylilies named after vacation resorts or that have "sea" or something similar in it as well as romance. (For instance, I already have "Jamaican Me Crazy", "Spiny Sea Urchin," "Victoria's Secret", and "Love after Dark".).

My gardens are mostly full sun, so I'm looking primarily for drought tolerant, sun lovers. I do have a small shade garden and would love to get a few hostas or heucheras with a love/romance theme.

I'm also working on a butterfly garden, serenity garden, and edible garden. I'm collecting daylilies and other plants with "butterfly" in the name or that attracts butterflies. (In daylilies, I already have Paper Bfly, Jungle Bfly, Emperor Bfly, Mokan Bfly, Chromatic Bfly, Japanese Bfly, Green Flutter, and Malaysian Monarch).

I'd love to get some named hibiscus, like "Turn of the Century", WHITE Texas Star, etc. I have many named hibs and am only looking for HARDY varieties, no tropicals.

What I have to trade are:

DAYLILIES:

Reds:
Pirate Lord (Munson)
Sultan's Fury
Frans Hals
In the Dark
Whooperee
Departure Time
Crimson Pirate
Black Plush (blackish red)

Bearded Irises:
Heirloom Dark Purple
Heirloom Peach or Pink with orange beard
Heirloom Pale Lavender

If interested in trading with me, let me know. Please don't be offended if I don't trade with you. I am an advanced gardener with limited space in my gardens now, so I'm looking only for the best plants for what space I have left.

Thank you for reading all this!

keica. i don't know it. i have to go look it up.

do you have aisha? lol. love these names.

i like chinese scholar better. how much does it double?

Here's Kecia. Notice the diamond dust sparkling on it. No, I don't have Aisha.

Here's another pic of Kecia.

Chinese Scholar doesn't double a lot for me. In this picture you can see it as a single and as a partial double. It often makes extra short petals (petaloids), like you see in the daylily on the right.

When it does double, it's amazing. Here it is in bright sunlight.

i kinda like it better as a single.

I have a few named hardy hibiscus, can root a beautiful large-flowering white climber called white dawn - have a pieces I just cut and started (could ship after they have rooted), and have some named daylilies.... I'll collect all the names and dmail you.

Hi ehighnutt,

I am afraid any cuttings your root this year wouldn't be hardy enough to survive our climate and our neglect. If you have any named hardy hibs that are rooted, I'd love to know what you have. Which daylilies do you have for trade? Dmail me your list if you don't mind and we'll go from there.
