As the cold season approaches, I find myself swamped in plants!
Many can be easily over Wintered indoors, or will grow on in warmer climates. Many are grown from cuttings, but heavily rooted in soil.
Impatiens - 2 purple New Guinea Impatiens.
Polka Dot Plants - (Hypoestes phyllostachya) - MANY - accents or houseplant, easy to grow.
Artemesia Wormwood - 3 plants - Lovely silver foliage.
Red Kalancho - 4 plants.
Four O'Clocks - 6 Tri-Color plants.
Butterfly Weed - 5 orange Asclepias - Over Winters well indoors, & much earlier flowers.
Talinum "Jewels Of Opar" - 1 rooted cutting, plus many cuttings for rooting - easy to root in soil.
Clerodendrum Ugandense - Blue Glory Bower - 3 rooted cuttings.
Haworthias - 7 succulent plants. Looks like emelyae
Fuschia - 2 large plants, will send roots & as much foliage as possible.
Pregnant Onion - 1 small bulb.
Chirita "Moonbeam" - 2 rooted cuttings.
Brugmansia - "Peaches & Cream" - 2 rooted cuttings.
Brugmansia "Isabella" - 1 rooted cutting.
Begonia "My Special Angel" - 2 rooted cuttings, plus many cuttings available - easy to root in soil.
Hens & Chicks - 2 trades.
Red Bee Balm - 5 trades.
Blue Balloon Flower - 2 large clumps.
I am looking for hardy perennials ONLY - Just no room left in the house!
Shade plants, variegated Hostas, ferns (I have Ostrich), Pulmonaria (I have Mrs. Moon), Hellebores, Anemones, Trumpet or other lilies, Hyacinth, Heucheras, variegated Solomon's Seal, variegated Jacob's Ladder, Trillium - or what have you?
Thanks to all for helping me downsize :)

CLOSED: They Gotta Go!
Julie,
Isn't Asclepsias supposed to be hardy up here? Or is it one of those self-seeding half-hardy types?
Blue balloon flower - tall or short?
red bee balm - do you know its name? How tall? More details?
I have enough moonbeam coreopsis for everyone on DG to have some!
Also a blanket flower, other miscelaneous growing things... ask! I keep forgetting.
xxx, Carrie
I have some Hardy Begonias - they are great in shade - here's the link http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/722/index.html
I'd love to have some Red Bee Balm
LMK if your interested, Michelle
Julie,
I have autumn anemones (robustissima) or Var. Solomon Seal. I would like a rooted Peaches and Cream brug. D-mail me if you are interested.
I have Ranunculus.. mixed, and Anemone mixed.. would like to trade for Begonia "My Special Angel" - 2 rooted cuttings LMK
Viv
I have lots of yarrow (red, yellow, white), salvia, rooted cuttings of various hardy roses.
I am interested in the artemisia.
I have unrooted cutting of doulbe delight rose if you know how to root them(i don't) Thats about the only thing I have that would be hardy for you.I would love a Chirita "Moonbeam.
I am interested in the fuschia, and red kalanchoe. Maybe some polka dot plants.....I have some tulips coming, being shipped on Monday from a coop here. I also have some white liatris, or I could give you a cutting of my hardy hibiscus. Let me know if any of that interests you.
Hi Carrie - The Asclepias is not hardy here, but it over Winters easily indoors. It doesn't thrive, but it survives - that way you get flowers much earlier. I try to do both - over WInter a few plants, plus grow some by seed.
The Balloons are regualr - not dwarf.
I don't have any information on the Bee Balm - I think it was one of those Proven Winners... It grows to about 3-5 feet tall, & the hummingbirds love it.
I can't use the Moonbeam, but the blanket flower sounds nice. Dmail me if this works for you!
Michelle - Sounds great! Dmail me details - how many plants, address etc.
Viv - Also a deal - dmail me with your address...
Greenjay - dmailing you with some questions-
Jannich - I don't know how to root roses either -But I can send the Chirita to you for postage is that works for you- dmail me & let me know!

and what's a chirita?
I would like one of your Chirita "Moonbeam and possibly some others.Sent you a D-mail : ) Nancy
Thank you JRush,I sent you d-mail about the Chirita.
Anaid - I don't think any of those are hardy here - Although I do like some of them, I just can't find the room for them inside. A few of the plants that you want are already spoken for, but I can send what I can for postage - dmail me & let me know if that works for you!
Mamajack - The Four O'Clocks look like "Broken Colors"
http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/53054/index.html
And the Chirita is my mistake - I think it is actually "Moonwalker" - the tag is scraped off!
Here it is:
http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/123951/index.html
I can only offer a fresh cutting of the Chirita - the rooted ones are already spoken for. But they root so easy - just stick them in soil & wait! I like this plant because it flowers in the dead of Winter. :)
I still have the following available:
Begonia "My Special Angel" - Cuttings only
Hens & Chicks
Brugmansia "Peaches & Cream"
Brugmansia "Isabella"
Bee Balm - Red
Polka Dot Plants
Four O'Clocks - tri-color
Butterfly Weed
Talinum "Jewels of Opar"
Blue Glory Bower
Coleus - Wizard mix medium size plants
Judy, if you have any of those Brugmanias left, I'd love to have one or two. I don't have anything to trade, as I'm new to creating my 'tropical paradise'. Let me now how I can get some of these beauties. Thank you. Dorothy
Hi Judy,
I would love to take any off your hands for postage as I'm more tropical and don't have anything cold hardy. I can always send you some trops in the spring if you like.
Jan...

Me too. Call me anything but late for dinner. LOL
I am dying for some red bee balm.
I have:
Echinacea White Swan
Echinacea Purpurea Magnus
Gaillardia
Columbine Burgundy
Blue Iris Bulbs
To offer. If you are interested in any of these let me know!!!
Thank you!!
Lisa
Interested in your Bee Balm & Hypoestes.
Have LOTS of cannas (firecracker, we think).
Not sure what else we have here in the Houston area that would be perennials for you. We mostly grow tropicals, roses, old standbys. We do have some beauty berry, and other small trees.
I took a look at your trade list, and all I found that we have is Ginger. However, these are tropicals??
JRush, I may be interested in your Hens & Chicks. How large and of what varietty of Sempervivim it is?
http://www.nothyme.com/hensandchicks.cfm
Thanks!
Julie-
Sorry, I lost this thread. Looks like you found takers for the hardy stuff - I don't need anymore stuff that I need to bring inside!
But from now on I'm watching this thread....
xxx, Carrie
Hi Carrie - I still have some Bee Balm, Balloon Flower, Artemesia & Hens & Chicks available. These are all hardy. If you don't have any Balloons for your garden yet, I would highly recommend them - they are so pretty!
Julie,
On your post just above this, is that what you currently have left?
I could/would love to take them off your hands amd I actually do have a few/couple things that would do well outside at your house. Maybe some daylilies or heucheras?
Just in case you didn't know, I moved AGAIN. I moved to North Central Florida last December. I'm now in zone 8b. I have my own 5 acres now, and no one else owns it with me. It's all mine and I hope to be here til I am really old.
I'll get you the correct address this time, I promise!!!!!
Molly
:^))))
You are to ofunny Molly - Dmailing you now...
Hi Julie,
Got mine yesterday and have most of them potted up. They're looking good.
Some of these are classic sulkers though - but they will perk up soon!
Julie,
How do you grow your hens & chicks?
Hens & Chicks love the hot, dry sun. They are great for rock gardens. I mix sand with the soil to keep it well draining. If they are happy, they will spread - quickly. My sister has hers planted in cement blocks - the kind for building. It keeps them extra hot, with the sun warming the cement, & contains their travelin' ways. After flowering, the stalk will die back. I just cut them off when they begin to look nasty, but not until the flowers are totally gone - the bees just love them!
Thanks. I have a bed that has the narrow concrete blocks around that I can put them in.
Julie,
I certainly do have balloon flowers! But I would love some of your Red bee balm. I don't think I have anything new to you to trade... Can you take postage?
xxxx, Carrie
ACK! Forgot the picture! Here it is!

OK... here we go.
JRush:
Do you have anything left that you 'need' to get rid of for the cost of postage? You don't even have to send rooting cuttings as I have a system that works pretty well for myself and I have a plant room to hold anything over until spring 2007. IF you have any of the following I would be forever thankful (and will send postage reimbursement asap!):
Hens and Chicks
Butterfly Weed
4:00 Broken Colors (cutting/seeds)
"My Special Angel" begonia cutting
Polka Dot Plants
New Guinea Purple Impatiens
Pregnant Onion
any Brug cuttings left???
Thank you in advance for your consideration!!!
carrielamont:
Are you still willing to send out any of your Moonbeam Coreopsis? Our weather has gotten quite chilly so my plants are going into dormancy so unable to send a trade at this time...but, I would gladly send/reimburse you for postage...LMK!!!
Later, Jan
The Balloons always look so perfect! A real star performer in the garden. I am still waiting to see if my white Balloon seed survived - hwo nice to see them planted next to one another :)
I do have Bee Balm left - probably the last of it though. Will dmail you-
JanLynn - I can offer everything but the Pregnant Onion. I have cuttings of Brugmansia Peaches & Cream, Isabella, Pink Beauty & Species. The Brugs are harder to root this time of year for us colder climates, but a lmap seems to help them along. Dmailing you too-
