Steve,

I am over here in Tampa and have a few that I have collected I will check you trade list. I do not keep my trade page up to date. Too time consuming. I am looking for tropical type groundcovers also.

Dale,

Thanks. Where in Tampa are you?

Hello - Would you be interested in purple carpet bugle? It is a low growing, fast spreading, hard to kill groundcover that sports a great purple color. I love it, and am using it in a lot of trouble areas for me. I am always propogating it for new areas and have some available. If your interested just send me a DM.

have bouncing bet (soapwort) sun or semi-shade would be evergreen in your zone

edited to say it blooms from early may to late fall in my zone, green year round, spreads rapidy from underground runners, easy to remove if it gets to be a nuisance

Steve,

I am near McKay Bay, just east of Ybor. I have a low growing peperomia, Viola hederacea (aussie violet), deep purple wandering jew, some trailing coleus, green and purple oxalis, a plectranthus gold and a plectranthus green. The last one I bought at Kmart, no tag, grows fast, looks like a plant I knew as creeping charlie.

I have Lysimachia nummularia (gold) if you are interested(perennial) it is just coming up . Sedum 'Angelina', I will look and see what else I have. Sedum 'Voodoo' I am getting today at work.

LUVS
I think it may be a bit too invasive. It's for my tropical garden. I need to have control over it.

JACKIE
The soapwort is a little taller than what I was looking for. I wanted something close to the ground.

CHICKORY
I'll pass on the Creeping Jenny, but I could be interested in the Sedum Angelina. How much do you have to spare?

DALE
Sending a D-mail

Thanks to everyone for responding

Hi
I have a ground cover for shade it is varigated low to the ground. I got it at a plant swap last year. It is like dead nettle but larger fleshier leaves. I don't know the name of it. It does well under trees.
Thanks
Dev

i have several ground sedums and dead nettles-purple, pinks and yellow
catmint-brain fart cant think what else i have but i know i have more!

I have creeping thyme, purple lamium(variageted and very pretty), yellow sedum moss, chameleon plant. Would love to trade. PLMK. LOU

DEV - I have absolutely no shade in my garden. I'm working on it, but it will take a while to grow.
