Have Banana Seed

I'm looking for Tropical or hardy Hibiscus, M.G. Seed, & other vining seed. Photo of mother banana plant, maybe Pink Fruiting/Musa Velutina Banana. Will trade 10 fresh banana seeds picked last week for any 10 seed on my wish list. I have 8 trades and more later.

Another photo of this banana plant.

I have a few Lady Baltimore hardy hibiscus seeds if you are interested.

I have dinner plate hibiscus , mini MG, Sunrise Serenade MG and maybe something else.

Cat & Makshi I'd love a trade with both of you. Sending you mail.

I am not familiar with this plant...is it hardy in zone 7B? Is it a Canna?

Janet, It's a banana plant. I'm not real sure this is the correct ID for this banana plant. I posted a picture for an ID and that is the name I was given. Musa Velutina grows real good for me in zone 8, but information on this plant states it is only hardy in zone 9 and above. This plant will die back after the first frost, but returns each spring. I mulch all my banana plants. Some, living in colder climates grow bananas year round in pots.

I have several different Hibiscus Seeds, all are the hardy type...and MG seeds too..are you looking for any particular color MG? I would not mind trying to grow those, they are just beautiful! Have you grown them from seed? Do they send up pups each year too? A friend of mine says his send up babies too..lol

Janet, Any color of hibiscus or M.G. will be fine. I've had fair luck germinating banana plants from seed. The banana plant itself sends up pups each yr., but I keep a heavy pinestraw mulch around my plants & gather the seed, so not real sure about seed drop making banana pups.
Thanks for the trade and sharing your seed with me.

I have hardy red Hibiscus and would love a seed or 2.

Cannagirl, I have a Texas Red Star Hibiscus that I grew from seed this spring and it is now blooming a beautiful 5 inch red flower....you might like this plant as the leaf is light and airy like a cannibis plant...let me know if you would like some seeds from this beauty for your Banana Seeds...

Thanks
Gail

I have some Star of Yelta MG seeds if you are interested in them.

Susan :)

Hi again,
Here is the picture of the Red Star Hibiscus, i am hoping to collect seeds this fall....if anyone would like seeds when they are harvested let me know.

Have a great day
Gail

Thanks Cannagirl, I will let you know when they arrive and get yours ready for shipping too....

Have a good day!
Gail

Gail, what a pretty picture of the Tx. Star. Yes, I would love some of those seed. Your seed went out today.

Susan, sent you mail. I'll get your seed out in the morning.

Thanks for sharing.

Dollie

Those red star hibiscus are so pretty. Darn they won't be hardy for my zone.

Hi Dollie,

I could not have been more surprised by this flower....I was given some seed in march or so, and 10 sprouted great....but they grew so so slow, and then I planted them in the ground and they still grew slow. The ones I moved after first planting are only a foot high so I would say they don't like to be moved....They will grow up to 5 feet or more, but light and airy, and it looks like the flowers will be all on top. So find a good spot for them and water and fertilize well and they will bloom the first year....I need to go out and see if any other blooms opened today...I am so slow today.....

Thanks for your Seed....

Have a great weekend
Gail

Gail, they will most likely be much larger and robust next year...I have a couple of Hardy Hibs that were like that too.

Janet,
What color are your hardy hibiscus??? I think I want to grow them next....will they come back year after year here?

Thanks
Gail

Yes they do come back! I have a really nice "dinner plate" type that is deep burgunday. I also have a nice yellow..I have several different ones I will send you some Gail! I am going to get a box of goodies for you in the Fall so I will send them then..okay...

Thank you Janet,
Would you like any of the Red Star Hibiscus when it seeds????

Have a good sunday!
Gail

Canna I can seed you three different hardy hibiscus and some MG's.

Sure Gail, I always take fresh seed when offered! I do NOT have that Hibiscus YET, but I have a few seed from another friend and I plan on getting them started soon.

Core, sorry for the late reply to your post. Yes, I'd love to trade. Sending you an email.

Gail, Janet is right, the hardy hibiscus come back each year. I put a pinestraw mulch over mine each fall. I now have a small patch of hardy light pink hibiscus, that started out from one small seedling. I'll try to get a picture posted on this thread of the pink. I have seed to share if anyone wants them.

Thank Dollie! I received my Banna Seeds, I will get you out some seeds this week. I could not fiugre out who these came from and finally this post came up again..lol So now I know!! Thank you again for sharing!
JanetS

Janet, I'm sorry! Thought I put my return address on the envelope. You have to over-look me Janet, my mind isn't what it once was. I'll email you when your seed arrive.

You did put your return addy on the envelope, sweetie, just not your DG name..lol

Hi Cannagirl,

Are you still trading bananas? I have some japanese morning glories with a variegated leaf and a deep pink flower to send your way. plmk.

jasmyne

Janet, LOL...I told you my mind wasn't what it used to be.

Jasmynu, my banana tree has produced more seed so still have plenty to trade. Would love to try your Japanese MG seed.

I was wondering if you had any more banana seeds? I have a MG called Little Bell morning glory...the flowers are smaller than a thumbnail. I have seeds fresh picked. I am adding a pic...keep in mind..these are tiny flowered.

Robyn

Robyn, What a pretty M.G.! I would love to try a few of these seed. Sending you an email.

Jasmyne, I sent you mail. PLMK if you still would like to trade.

Corey, your seeds went out today.

Yeah...I was hoping you would want to trade....I will watch for a dmail.

Thanks
Robyn

I have 4 or 5 different mg's seeds do you still need some as i would love to try the banana seed.
Thanks Marilyn

I sent you a dmail
