I have for trade:
7 packets of 10 seeds each of gunnera manicata
3 packets of 10 seeds each of gunnera tinctoria
I would like to trade each of the packets for
one well-rooted double brug cutting, any color,
especially deep pink, peach, yellow, white.
I ordered these from Swallowtail Gardens this year,
received them a few days ago. I don't need that many
and want to trade.

gunnera seeds for trade, want brug cuttings
Do you know the germination rate on these?
I'm not sure but I plan to put them to the test tomorrow. I've never grown this plant but was fascinated by it. I will give them a bath in H2O2 & ST and let you know how many are planted and how many come up. Hopefully, it won't take too long.

i had the plant not to hardy .. thought first yr was but not only grows like 2 or 3 in. all summer no kidding slowwwwwww. i do want some seeds.. do you have link would like to see about buying few..
Ok never mind oi found how it is listed .. thanks though.. hope grow good for you..
Badseed,
I checked the envelope and it said 14-60 days for germination.
I sure hope that the healthy soak speeds things up a bit. I will
know about the germination rate maybe in 14 days if I'm lucky!
Louise
well they said no match there for those seeds so will try another place maybe..was it there got them??Thanks
sorry they were listed under simple name.. thanks though..
Hope 43,
I don't know if it is profiled on the Plant Files or not. A month or two ago, I read some posts about the plant and I don't know which thread it was now. The information then said that it grew to 8-10 feet high and the leaves were from 4 to 8 feet across and it requires a LOT of water. It probably is ideal for more tropical climates than I have here, but I'm going to give it a try. I only have seeds thatI received from
Swallowtail Gardens last week. I think 100 seeds of the plain leaf cost $3.00 plus shipping. The frilly leafed ones cost $2.00 plus shipping for 50 seeds if I remember correctly. I thought some DG members might want to try growing the plant like I wanted to. If I can share my seeds for a trade, it would save buying them.
I hope I have good luck with my venture !!!

edited to correct price I paid for frilly ones.
