CLOSED: salvia lyrata "Purple Knockout" for trade

I have a purple-leaved salvia (salvia lyrata, Purple KnockOut) seeds. Makes and OUTSTANDING full-sun xeric border plant where huechera or other dark-leaved plants would not survive.

Will trade for cuttings or rooted cuttings of heirloom roses, named daylilies, or other hard to find salvias.

greenjay, you have dmail.

Hi greenjay, I have seeds to salvia lyrata 'purple valcano', do you have this one? I am just starting to collect salvias. Would love a trade?
Lea

LeBug, send me a dmail with your address. Yes, I would be interested in the "purple volcano" cultivar.

Hi greenjay,
This is a bit off-topic, but it's really relevant to me:
BlueStone lists that Salvia as hardy only to zone 8, whereas
DG says hardy to zone 11... which is more accurate?
(I love salvias and have bought some seed but not yet planted
them b/c I was afraid that they would only be annual in my
10B/11 zone)
Thanks, if you can help

Hi Gina,

I live in a zone 10 area and I have the salvia lyrata, it is perennial for me,I hope this helps.

Thanks Annette68, that does help alot!

Greenjay, if you're interested in approx. 30 seeds of Scarlet Bicolor

Then I would love some of your Salvia.
Thanks,
Gina

Gina,

Go for all the tropical salvias, the ones from mexico and South America you cant go wrong in a zone 10 area,I have 130 salvias and I am experimenting to see what survives my summer, so far so good:)

Annette

Gina, I have that Scarlet Bicolor already. Send me a dmail if you have anything else along those lines. Wouldn't have to be a salvia, I am looking for tall verbascum also.

I don't have anything else along those lines, so I'll just catch you on another day, another trade. ;)~

Thanks for the tips, Annette68!

greenjay,
I have salvia microphylla "Hot Lips" http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/57961/index.html and can send you some cuttings for your purple knock out seeds. You can check out my trade list if you don't need the Hot lIps.
