Salpiglossis sinuata
I just saw some photos of mixed colors of this plant and now I am in lust again.
Does anyone have these for SASE or I can send a trade list.
Thanks for looking.

Alice,
I don't have any seeds left, sorry, I planted all I had. But if you don't find any, and I have any luck with these, I will bring some seedlings to the Iowa roundup for you. The ones I'm trying to start are Royale Chocolate and Kew Blue, plus one that is multicolored.

Hopefully these are easy to start. This is the first time I've ever tried them!!

This is information on Verseys seed sight about how to start them:
Start inside 6-8 weeks before last frost in peat pots. Do not cover seed, but provide darkness with black plastic or cardboard. Keep warm (70-75°F). Transplant outside after last frost, 8-12” apart. Grows well in full sun or light shade. Do not overwater or overfertilize. Pinch back plants when young to encourage bushiness.

Well you know I will be hoping they do well for you!!! I don't think I have ever noticed these before and sure was impressed when I saw the photos of them.
I am of course hoping that everyone of your little seeds germinates for you, for my own selfish reasons!!!! haha
Thanks again for your generous offer!
