CLOSED: Blue fescue seedlings for trade or postage
I work for a grass seed company in the research dept.
We grew out these 'Azay Blue' fescue for a project.
Have about 1/2 of a flat left.
These would be good to grow for ornamental grasses. They do look green color now but later in its maturity life, they will be a pretty blue-green color.
So if anyone here would like the whole 1/2 flat, a clump of it, or a few seedlings, just let me know.
I would prefer to trade but if people want to do postage, I can do that.
I like fragrant plants, dahlias, perennials for the NW, etc.
Would like to ship them off this next Monday.
So let me know if anyone is interested in these. If not, they will become compost by Sunday night!
Carol
Hi, do you know how hardy they are? This week we are 20 degrees below normal-16 last night. Would need hardy to zone 4.
Carol, I would love a small clump of this!
Good question. You know, I really don't know. That is something I haven't thought of. Guess I have to do some research on this.
They are cool season grasses. They do survive our low/freezing temps. here in the NW. We do get down in the teens for days with ice.
If nobody is going to take these, they will become compost Sunday night!
Carol
Well, great, Mendy. One clump coming up. LOL
One taker! Any more???
Thanks, Carol. I'm not sure I have anything that you might want. You can come over and look if you want. :o)
I would like whatever you have left. Take a look in my journal, tell me what you like and I'll let you know if it's dividable.
Thanks!

Lana,
How about the Yarrow, 'Ortel Rose'? That is all I see on your list that I would be interested in.
Carol
Sure, I can do that, have plenty :~) Having a cold spell here, should we wait a week or so until it gets above freezing? Thanks!
Lana
Sounds just fine. Remind me ok?
I will leave this open until Sunday nite to see if anyone else wants a clump and then close it and save the rest for you then.
Carol
Thanks, Carol. I'll send you a dmail so it's easier for me to remember to remind you LOL!
Lana
I'm new here so bear with me while I get the hang of it!! I would love some blue fescue.
Tena
Hi, Tena!!! Welcome to the best garden community on the web :~) You should pop over to the welcome mat and introduce yourself, tell everyone about your garden be it indoor, outdoor, water, or still images in your head.
Lana
Hi too, Tena.

Hi everyone!! Thanks so much for the warm welcomes!!
Carol, I just got a bunch of star of bethlehem bulbs, and grape hyacinth, they're really pretty. Do you have any interests? I'm sorry I haven't figgered out the lists yet........but I will soon!
Let me know....
Confusedlady: I wish I only had 1500ft to fill up!! I got 1/2 an acre with nothing but some of the nastiest, gnarly Caragana shrubs and stunted ash trees. Not even very good grass. I am having fun trading like crazy though.
dirtfloor, thanks for your offer but I am getting a few of those in a co-op here. Have anything else? If not, you can do postage then if you want.
Carol
Carol, that sounds good. email me your address, oops! I guess thats D-mail. and what you need for postage.
Thanks!Tena
Ok, I will. I need to weigh out a clump to see how much it would be. Be patient with me. Am busy with trying to find another job, sigh.....................
