i have quite a few of these rooted. most of the cuttings are about 3-4 inches tall and could send about 3-4 to a trade. i also have a bigger plant. would like something perennial. thanks.
CLOSED: have: dicliptera suberecta......hummingbird plant
what is a hummingbird plant...I've never heard of one but I think I might like one is it a plant or more of a bush kinda thing...lmk
krista
I wish I could have one but it won't live in my zone. They are pretty and I know the hummers would love them.
What kind of perenials would you like?
if you don't know what this plant is then google it. it is a gorgeous plant. plant files on daves has a comment from a lady in 7b that is growing it. also, plant files state hardiness as 7-11, although other sources state less cold hardiness. it is a subshrub, reaching 24 inches in height. blooms late summer. magnolia gardens says it is a good potted plant.
these plants were at a local nursery in july, aug. when it was so hot and dry the nursery cut these plants back to about 4-5 inches. the bigger plants were root bound in their pots as well but are putting on new leaves now that i have repotted them. they appear to be none the worse for wear although they aren't so pretty with their haircut.

I've got fresh seeds from salvia Black & Blue , s. Hot Lips, and a very vigorous red Salvia if you are interested, it looks like you already have Firespike. My hummers are all over the salvia, especially Black & Blue.
If those aren't of interest I can look around for something to take cuttings of...

plantnutga, i have the black and blue and hot lips. what is the other red salvia? is it an annual?
The red was in the side of a one gallon pot with the hot lips, just one little teeny stem this spring that I couldn't bear to let die, it is now 3 foot by 3 foot. I have not ID'ed it.
But boy, is it happy!
plantnutga
is it coccinea?
I need to double check the leaves against some photos I pulled up.
mamajack
I believe it is coccina although the descriptions I read said that it stays smaller than mine has. I guess I neglected it just enough...
plantnutga
thanks for getting back. i am sorry but i have coccinea. lmk what perennials you have other than what i requested since it looks like i am not going to get the most wanted yellow salvia. lol. i have traded several of the plants already. also some of the rooted cuttings. i think i still have a plant. thanks. barb
Mama, where is Fate? And did I understand you are looking for Madrensis?
i am saying shyly, meekly even with trepidation...........yes i want some madrensis.
is it possible that you have this plant? and you are even in texas. i had given up on getting this salvia. you do have it? you aren't just teasing me, are you? lol.
fate is about 25 miles east of dallas on I-30, near rockwall.
did you want a dicliptera?
I have dicliptera. Won it when I went to one of my local hort talks.
Yes, I have it but I also work @ a whsl nursery that grows. I'm also fr FtW!
Now, how is that for it being a small world or should I say a big Texas? lol
I could talk to you for an hr about this plant. It is awesome!!! The stem is the strangest I have ever seen. It is a salvia but only blooms in the fall! Size is not normal for salvias. Only yellow salvia that I know of! Etc, etc, etc.!!!!!!
