I'm trying to reinvent my front yard which is mostly shaded. Would love both of these plants. Can trade handmade soaps/website design/and I'm sure other things(drawing a blank of what I need to move out!) My only plants for trading are ditch lilys, which I have tons of! I'm trying to get back into gardening and about everything is gone.
thanks!

Looking for hostas/Hydrangea/roses/lavender
I have some hosta that I can trade as soon as they come up. Right now everything is small or nonexisent because of the freeze. I might have a few other plants I can probably send you too. I would love to try some of the homemade soap.
Do you want some lily of the valley? It does really good in shade or sun. They do spread though. You could always start with the spring bulbs and work your way out epimedium are beautiful in the spring also. I could afford to send out some hostas my self. I also would love to try the homemade soap Ive never had any
I have blue cadet hostas and both hicote and munstead lavender. would love to try some homemade soap . Cinda
Wow! Thanks for the response!
Pepper-That idea sounds great, just let me know when you are ready to trade
Gardenlady- Are the lilys blooming right now? If so that may be the unknown plant I have going in the shade. Hostas are great or whatever else you'd like to share.
Cinda-Those sound great as well!! Thanks
Here's a photo of some of my soaps I also make one in oatmeal,milk and honey that I use oatmeal in which is great for getting dirt out. Everyone that replied I'll send a dmail later today!
thanks
hey gardengus what are hicote? and are they for the shade? do they blossom? and what about the munstead lavender? does it blossom?? Im always interested in new shade flowers.
I have heard that Tricyrtis is a good shade plant. I just planted some with my astilibe today. I'm hoping they come up and thrive there.
gardenlady123, they are both types of lavender( an herb),I think they do best in full sun ,at least if you want blooms and good oils for scent. I have not tried them in shade. I probably spelled the type wrong,I often do unless I look it up. For shade this year I'm trying brunnera-jack frost . It has nice silvery leaves and a blue (forget-me-not type )flower. Cinda
I've send Dmails to everyone let me know if you have any questions
Thanks!

I have lots of Tiara hostas. Since they grow so quickly, they are easy to propagate to other parts of your yard. Let me know if you're interested.
Oh, how about false purple shamrocks? Don't know what the range is, but they do wonderfully in 7b. Cute pink flowers, too.
