I'm thinning out a few clumps of hostas to get a blackberry vine out of them. They look like they are a vareigated variety, as the leaves that are opening up have bright white edges. I will have 3-4 trades of these hostas. don't know their names, but know they've been planted in full sun, and that the clumps I'm dividing each have over 50 nubbies on each of them. I'm hoping to get these dug out today, so let me know! I"m looking for dwarf cannas, pink, red, white, and purple are my color preferences. Any other sun-loving perennial would be greatly appreciated, as would a confederate rose, rooted hibiscus, or anything I can use to fill in this sunny football field of a front yard. Thanks in advance for the trades!

Un-named Hostas
How about some red bee balm---or obedient plant pink--- or solidago canadenese (9 foot tall) 0r rudbeckia maxima (7 feet). Just let me know---- Tracy
I have rooted condfederate rose trade.
I'd love to have some hostas - I have white "disco-belle" hibiscus that I will be transplanting this spring and I should be able to divide it.
It has huge white flowers with a red eye - I grew this plant from seed years ago.
Height: 24-30"
Spread: 18-24"
Bloom: 5-9" white flowers
Foliage: Green
Light: Full Sun
Watering: Well-draining, moist soil
Care: Zones 4-9
Notes: Does not like to dry out
Let me know if you want to trade
If you havn't gotten your trade yet, don't worry. Hubby is going to help me pack them up this weekend so I can ship on Monday. I hurt my shoulder fighting with an underground kudzu root. Had to have hubby take me on Tuesday. Doctor thinks I ripped my rotator cuff, and I have a huge area of calcified tendenitis..guess that's what I get for ignoring it for so long. Anyway, just an assurance that they will finish going out on Monday.
Wow, hope you're ok. I was fighting with growth at some old Toby tree stumps and I thought I was going to dislocate my shoulder. Gotta be careful, season's just starting :)
I know, but if they only have to scrape out the calcium, I"m only down for a month. If they have to fix a tear in my rotator cuff, I"m down for 3. Hubby said if beds were made, he'd help plant...I'm going to test him on that.
