I have three packs of 20 seeds each. I would like to trade for any of these:
Salvia guaranitica
Cuphea-bat faced
Cestrum-pink or yellow
Have leonotis nepetafolia seeds to trade
Oh man! I just threw my leftover bat-faced cupheas seeds on the ground!
If you don't find any, let me knwo and I might be able to get you a plant soon.

Do those plants get any hummer activity...that you have seen? Just curious....trying to collect hummer attracting plants...especially ones that someone has actually seen hummers feeding from.
Thanks,
Lisa
I haven't seen any...but I only planted them last year.
Oh ok...thanks! I just started planting this year. So I'm going to play with the plants I've already planted and hopefully next year or this fall I'll have some stuff to trade...till then I like to window shop LOL
I will have to watch, the hummers are coming in now. I saw male ruby throats and male rufous.
Witch, I love the bat faced(or any cuphea except Mexican heather). The only one they sell here is the Mexican Heather and hummers don't like it too well. I think I'm gonna have to drive to Corups Christi to go plant shopping!
Hummers like the Leo just fine. http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/401030/
Thank You Badseed!! Awesome pics by the way. I love the look of this plant (leonotis nepetafolia) going to have to put it down as a "want".
Just write to me in a couple of weeks and I'll send you some seedlings. :) The seeds are sprouting but the plants are way itty bitty.
Calalily are these Leo seeds hard to grow? Do they grow that big and make then kinda flowers all in one season?
The seeds here fall on the ground and sprout on their own. I know the seedlings that came up last fall are blooming now(I should have paid more attention to how long they take). When I start them in a pot, I just sprinkle the seeds on top of the soil, they are pretty easy to grow.
Chele, how long do they take to flower?
I really want to say about four months? Of course I have to start them inside, transplant them, harden them off then plant them. I normally start them around Feb-March and I would say I do not see blooms until about July. It seems mine do not bloom until they hit about 5-6 feet, but that could also just be when the temps are warm enough. They do grow extremely fast though.
Thanks for the information, both of you. : )
Chele, they don't bloom for me till they are at least 3 or 4 ft tall and we warm up fast here.
Well maybe that makes me feel a *little* bit better. LOL Of course mine do not winter over or self seed. booo hoooo
Chele now that you have a GH they over winter great inside. Just plant you some in a pot. It blooms all winter for me
Do you keep the whole plant or start cuttings? I am afraid to see how big an over wintered plant would get. LOL
Only about 6 ft tall Chele(then it got broken by our TX wind and it didn't recover)
I'm not sure if all the seeds are spoken for, but if there is any left or anybody has any plants they would like to share I would love one of the leonotis nepetafolia. I raise daylilies so I would be glad to trade a daylily for the seeds or the plants. Let me know if anyone is interested.
I love daylilies, I'll trade you some leonotis seeds for daylily seeds.
does anyone know where to buy these???
Don't know where to buy them, but I'll share seeds with you.

Calalily you have mail.
