Your Hens And Chicks look awesome! I'm so glad they can handle regular garden soil! I would definitely like some, please, if you have any left.

If you have some left, may I have:
- Rose Mint Agastache (agastache pallidiflora) <-- if it isn't aggressive and if it can survive our winters
- Wild Bergamot (monarda fistulosa)
- Spotted Bee Balm (monarda punctata)

Thank you!

Absolutely! All three of those should be perennial in our zone. However, I haven't grown them before so I can't speak to how aggressive they are.

Ok. I would still like Rose Mint Agastache (Agastache pallidiflora), please, since it's native to the US.

and Spotted Bee Balm (monarda punctata) for Ellen (oerickson), the swap's organizer?

I would also like to try Craspedia (pycnosorus globosus) as well.

Thank you.

@pitimpinai and @Jasmine - yes, I will bring the monarda and craspedia. I'm planning to bring everything I have even if someone hasn't claimed it.

@VerdantApt - I am 15 min north of Evanston and I grow my veg/fruit in raised beds or pots. Not because of soil concerns, I have dogs that like to eat soil and plants and will eat my tomatoes right off the vine if they were able to reach them. If I were to ever grow in-ground I would probably use a basic soil test that you can order online or pick up at a nursery.
