CLOSED: Have E. Purpurea Razzmatazz Seeds

I'm looking for the following herb seeds

Chocolate mint
Girardus rosemary
Italian oregano
Orange balsam thyme

http://www.smithandhawken.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=prod275499&categoryId=cat280009p

E. Purpurea Razzmatazz - Plants may not come true from seeds. This true of many Hybrids.

Chocolate mint doesn't make seeds; so you'll have to wait for rooted cutting.

Girardus Rosemary Rosmarinus cv Rosemary, Girardus Tender perennial. May not come true from seeds either. Rooted from cuttings mostly.

Italian oregano - don't allow someone to trick you on this. They could substitute regular oregano - or Winter or Summer savory. Better to buy the plant. Italian Oregano is also known as Marjoram. Plants are difficult to grow from seed.

Orange balsam thyme - Most likely, you'll discover this up-and-coming herb at only the most select farmers' markets or specialty stores. If you're unable to find orange balsam thyme in your area, this evergreen perennial can be grown throughout most of the country. Look for plants at your local garden center or farmers' market.

I'm not trying to embrass you, just giving some info; so you're not tricked

I have chocolate mint growing outside, could dig some up for you. Would love to try your seeds.

Robin,

Thanks for all the info. I'm not embrassed at all. I'm not into herbs. I have cone flower because of the pretty blooms. I was actually trying to trade my seeds for the above to help a friend that mentioned she would love to have those herbs. Hmmm...so I guess I have to find something else to trade for runners or cuttings of those herbs.

blue_eyes,
I would prefer to send you a plant for a plant unless you really want to find out what the cone flowers seeds produce.

flowerjunkie,
are you comfortable about sending a plant through the mail?

I wasn't, until I got some begonias though the mail from JulieR in the spring, and I saw how she did it. Toilet paper roll, plastic bag inside. Next a layer of paper towel (because plant leaves are not supposed to touch plastic), then a plant in soil. All this in a small box.

In the case of JulieR, she wrapped a ribbon around the top of the plastic bag. It was a nice touch.

You guys,

Thanks for all the help. But I didn't say I'm UNCOMFORTABLE shipping plants. LOL!!! Please re-read what I wrote. I simple did not want to trade my seeds for her plant because I felt it would not be an EVEN trade.

I have been selling plants on eBay and trading plants with DG's for over 8 years. Trust me, I'm an expert at packing plants. LOL

Thanks again,

Daisy
