CLOSED: Desperatly seeking yellow butterfly bush :)

I am still looking for someone who has rooted cuttings, (i kill unrooted ones) of the yellow butterfly bush for either SASE or trade. I am enquiring at all my local nurseryies and am on there wait list for a 1 gallon, but no luck so far, had no luck last year either. they coudl only offer a 5 gallon which was $30.00 which was too much.

So if anyone has any available please, please let me know

Diane

There are usually tons on Ebay for around 5.00. Don''t feel bad.
I kill them all the time and just keep buying more

If mine is blooming, so I can tell which it is, I would be happy to root you some.

Diane,

I just took cuttings the other day. Have them in rooting soil and will know within a couple weeks if they took.

Don't know why, but they seem to be a bit fussy about starting from cuttings. I have done it with my own and had about a 50% success rate. I have tried with cuttings from other people and had a 100% fatality rate.

Check in with me in a couple weeks and we'll see how they did. If they rooted, I can certainly spare some for you.

:^)))

I just bought a purple one, but don't know anything about it. Can y'all educate me a bit? Where do you have yours planted? Does it need lots of room? Also, how much should I cut to try and root? Thanks for any help.

ILoveJesus has a co-op going on right now that offered Buddleia x weyeriana 'Honeycomb' for $3.60

Hi Mollymac, you got mail

Dstartz, i could not find the co op you talked about, the co op forum said all co op's had been closed, any thing else to lcue me in where to find it? Think i must in the wrong place....lol

Budgielover will check out ebay in the mean time, as i would love to have more than one of this plant :)

Badseed, you got mail

Thak you all so much for helping out

Hugs Diane

Diane,

The co-op can be found at http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/511326/ although the ordering phase is now complete.

If you can't find one anywhere else and you don't mind paying the $3.60 cost per plant and the $3.85 postage I'll share with you up to 2 of the 3 I ordered for myself. (I ordered 3 to help Sandy meet the quota for the Buddleia.)

LMK,

Donna

Hi All

wanted to post before i closed the link.

The day after i recieved lots of replies about future cuttings, one of the seven local nurseries called and said those magic words.....We have a yellow butterfly bush in stock are you still intrested......so i picked her up today and she is a little leggy but that will grow put after this years pruning once the blooms are done.

So thank you to all who replied and i think i have sent messgaes out but just in case i missed some one, a big thank you ...

I really think it was the DG people karma with all the good offerings and thoughts that made it come to fruition, as you have no idea how long i have had my name down at the nurseries for one of these babies, then the day after i put it on DG forum they call.....

So thank you all from a happy new owner of a yellow butterfly bush at last :)

Diane
