Anyone willing to send Coleus cuttings?

Hey. It's about time to take coleus cuttings here in the south before our coleus' are gone for the year and I was wondering if anyone would send some cuttings to me so I could root some over the winter. I'd really love to get some as I am a new coleus "collector" and lover and have a rack in the sunroom all set up and everything! I've taken some cuttings of the 3 or 4 I had this summer and am so excited to see how they do over the winter and if they flourish this next summer or not.

So if anyone is taking cuttings now and would take a couple extra for me, I'd REALLY appreciate it! (They'd survive a few days in the mail right?) I'll send postage or whatever seeds I might have, or trades I can come up with.

Thanks!

I also posted this in the Coleus forum :-)

I could send some cuttings for postage, I have 4 or 5 different ones. Want me to send pictures? Let me know....

I don't care what kind they are, I love them all! Have you started cutting your's back yet? I cut mine back with that first 30 degree scare, but I don't think it got down that cold.
Would you like some of my cuttings or something else I can come up with or postage? I have some cuttings from the 3 in the photo.
I'm so excited!
I'll be at work most of the day, so I might not be able to get back to you until late this afternoon or early evening.
Thanks for contacting me!

That's fine, I am about to go out of town for the day. I just walked outside and I have at least 5 that I can send you cuttings of. I have been taken cuttings, now that I have a gh, its easier to root cuttings and grow them over the winter and not have to buy them. Do you have anything unusual? Let me know when you want me to send them. It may be best to wait til Monday, so they don't get stuck in the weekend mail. I may go ahead and cut them today and stick them in some soil. They may be rooted by Monday.ttyl

Are you a "seeds" person? I have fresh "Chocolate Flower" seeds. They smell just like cocoa, esp. in the morning.
I have cuttings of the coleus in the photo above. They haven't rooted yet, but I can send them along.
I just bought a small Indoor plant called "Purple Passion" clearanced at Publix for $1.50. Looks like it would root, but I don't know a thing about it.
I have some hellebore seedlings. Let me look around the yard. D-mail me monday and Thanks again!

The Choc Flower seeds sounds interesting. The purple passion, if it is fuzzy, likes humidity. There are a couple of different ones called purple passion. The hellebore do not survive down here, much too hot. I am at the very bottom of GA. Will Dmail Mon. and we will send out. Thanks

I have cuttings as well that I would send for cutting of the purple passion and the seeds you mentioned.

That's one of my coleus plants. I think it's called "inky fingers". At least that's what I've been calling it. I've taken some cuttings. Is it possible to mail live cuttings to Sweden? I don't have any seeds.
