Judy
I have been trying to work up the nerve for some time now to throw myself on the mercy of the Brug Forum and beg for some brugie cuttings. So, you can't know how thrilled I am you asked.
Could you use any of the following or something I might have forgotten to list? Our garden is naturalized with variations on mixes of woody plants underplanted/interplanted with herbaceous plants underplanted with bulbs - mostly plants cold-hardy to zone 5/6. There are strategic pockets of tender/annual plants.
Trade List as of 1/1/05:
Fragrant plants from which I could share cuttings are:
purple-leaved Prunus cistena
Viburnum carlesi
seedling of Dianthus 'Bath's Pink' - makes a thick, cascading carpet of pale, fragrant pink flowers over stones in our kitchen garden, despite summer humidity and partial shade
Crepe myrtle 'Natchez'
Caryopteris
Azalea viscosepalum (deciduous, white early June, extremely fragrant)
Azalea 'Conversation Piece' (Satsuki, every petal a different pattern of white and pink, low and spreading - not noticeably fragrant)
Lilac meyeri ‘Palibin’ (spelling? - pale mauve, intensely fragrant, blooms very soon after rooting)
Roses (cuttings available end of May/early June - David Austin roses: Graham Thomas, Wind Rush, English Garden, Abraham Darby, Heritage, Othello; Alberic Barbier (white blushed pale yellow, 20', rambler, double, tolerates partial shade, very hardy, disease resistant; Sally Holmes)
Divisions of fragrant plants are:
Hosta subcordata (old-fashioned H. plantaginea (spelling?) - long, 2" very fragrant tubes late July to September if watered well enough - hummingbird perches on them)
Coniferous cuttings:
Chamaecyparis pissifera filipendulina
Sciadopyllus verticillata
Taxus 'Hicks'
Evergreen broadleaf cuttings:
Ilex Nelly Stevens
another holly of the purple stemmed, blue meserve type
Buxus 'Green Mountain'
Other cuttings:
Arabis something - rock cress – white flowers April; low; woolly silvery leaves
Buddleia - this is on the Invasive Species list of many states, including mine. Having let you know, let me say that my rose garden would be so pitiful without the silvery leaves and violet blue spikes of this dwarf form of buddleia davidii. It came with no name. The leaves are smaller and spaced more closely up and down their twigs and branches than non-dwarf kinds of buddleia. Hummers love it, which is one reason I don’t spray chemicals on my garden.
ivy - green and gold -came with no name
Nepeta siberica - 3' tall, bushy, violet blue flwrs late May - early July, not so attractive to cats
Perovskia - not the short compact one, but up to 3' or 4'; silvery; late blue flowers; full sun;aromatic
Rue - I use it for a 12" - 18" low hedge bordering the edge of the rose garden as it faces the *!! silver maple. For me, it keeps its leaves, with 2 or 3 clippings, down the ground, whereas many edgers get leggy because of that maple
Hardy perenial divisions:
Ajuga - black purple leaves - tolerates at least up to half shade - nice carpet under shrub
Alchemilla mollis - Lady’s Mantle - ditto to the rue
Asperula something - cold-hardy sweet woodruff - I use this as a ground cover in boundary plantings - low, white flowers in May, when it dies back in the fall, it perfumes the garden.
Aster Purple Dome
Astilbe ‘Peachblossom’
Campanula poscharskyana
Digitalis purpurpea - foxglove - poisonous - not good around young children
Ferns - Athyrium pictum (silvery Japanese painted fern);
deep purple, single and a double white
Kalimeris - Mongolian aster - surprisingly tolerant of shade and a wide spectrum of conditions; has the effect in the garden of gypsophila in summer. Cut back end of May or early June for bloom towards end of season. No known disease or insect problems that other asters have.
Mint - ginger - often variegated
Monarda ‘Jacob Kline” - red bee balm - extremely invasive, long blooming, hummers
Periwinkle - leaves splashed with cream, violet blue flowers bloom in April and somewhat again in Oct - Dec - shade tolerant, nice edger/groundcover to solid green evergreens such as yew
Phlox paniculata - either Mt Fuji or White Admiral - both white and not as mildew free as David
Scabiosa 'Butterfly Blue'
Viola labradorica (most tolerant of dry shade - self-sows into dainty-appearing purple leaved carpets under shrubs, along path edges)
Seed:
from dahlia 'Thomas Edison' and mixed spider cactus dahlias - no telling what shapes and colors
balsam - mixed colors, tall
cleome, white
Lychnis coronaria - volunteer seedlings
morning glory 'Scarlet O'Hara' - good "doer"
Viola - no telling what the offspring will be like - parent was a cream with lavender picoteed edges and pale yellow, whiskered face. It spread like a groundcover. Volunteer seedlings have had same coloring as parent so far, but cannot guarantee all would be same. It bloomed itself silly.
