I was cleaning up my gardens, and discovered that I had about 7 spires of cardinal flower seeds. I have saved them all, even strained them to get the trash out. I have several packets that I would like to trade. If anyone has Pennie Black (see my trading list) I'd like to trade that. Otherwise, I am just looking for things that like about 60% shade. IF you don't have anything to offer, I would be glad to accept a SASE.
Remember, cardinal flower likes shade and moisture, even a swampy site will work. Mine are planted on shady ground, but not very moist, so I planted them in a slight depression that holds water somewhat. Even though these seed are quite tiny, they germinate well. I got mine from the historic house that I have been involved with for 14 years through the local historical society.

Redrose, on the right side of you computer monitor screen, click on Plants. In the database, enter an inquiry for cardinal flower. You will have to scroll down to find it but it has all the requirements and a picture. These are spires of tiny red flowers that bloom in late summer. They are native here. They like it moist and partially shady. The seeds are tiny buy still germinate well if kept moist. I have had mine for 3 years, got them from seed from a historic house. If you want them, e-mail me.

I would like some of your seed too. Please see my trade list for a possible trade.
woodspirit1, you've got mail :)
I am OUT of cardinal flower seeds. Although I do think I have enough to honor all the requests. Thanks to those who traded for things I wanted. I promise to save more of them next year.
OK, I take it back. 4 people that said they would send SASEs did not so I still have 4 packs. If anyone did not receive a pack from me, please let me know with your DG name and your full address. Otherwise, I will let them go to the 1st four people that holler......
Did I get seed to everyone who asked? I really got swamped and had some confusion as to who was who. I even recommended to Dave that he announce to everyone that when they trade, please use their DG name.
If you still have the cardinal flower seed, please let me know. You can check out my list and see if there is anything there you would like. Thanks so much.
As per my Oct 25th statement..Id love to have seed from you. I do have a trade list. Lets trade, or I WILL send and SASE. Thanks!
