May I please have Craspedia (pycnosorus globosus) and
Rose Mint Agastache (agastache pallidiflora) if you have any to spare?


Hi Thea,

Unfortunately those two plants are already claimed. However, I will start some more craspedia seeds for you today and they will just be super young and tiny by the time of the swap. But, they have been growing really well for me and I think you would still get some nice growth in your garden this season even though they were started a bit later than recommended.

Sorry I'm late to the party! I'm excited to attend again, after missing it last year. I've been walking the garden, jotting down possibilities. Though some things are slow to show up this year. I didn't see a link to the pre-swap page, and I was thinking it was AWFULLY late. But I have it now!

WISH LIST:

a currant bush (any other fruit bushes? Not raspberries)

white and red trillium

woodland plants (not violets, or lily of the valley, or anything invasive)

Japanese Anemone, white

Any geranium (except sanguinea and Johnson's Blue). I especially like big root geraniums. Have the pink one already.

Iris, esp. deep colors like burgundy or brown. Or bi-colors. Not lavender.

Aquilegia (columbine), any except for Alpina (dwarf alpine blue)

Short asters

Cimicifuga or actaea, going for purple leaves

Heuchera (Coral bells)

My purple heucheras are now dead. Now looking for a mound shaped, purple leaved, non-invasive perennial to take their place in the shady hosta bed.

Plumbago (ceratostigma)

Verbena Bonarensis

Hydrangeas, but not the ones that bloom on old wood.

Cherry or small tomatoes
++++++++++++++++

OFFERS:

Chocolate Eupatorium - between 2 to 4 feet tall. Tolerates shade well. Autumn bloomer.

Dwarf alpine columbine (deep purple-blue). Only a few

Mystery phlox seedlings. Could be any color, but most likely lavender-pink or white

Mystery New England aster seedlings: mostly likely purple or hot pink. 3 to 4 feet tall.

Blue Globe Thistle seedlings - average 4 feet tall once mature.

Ligularia Desdemona. Dark purple leaves. 1 to 2 year plants

Big Root geranium "Bevan's Variety"

Catnip – 1 good sized plant.

Boltonia asteroides (Native). Spreads by rhizomes; makes a colony. Have 1.

1 small Persicaria Polymorpha if I can successfully chop it off the parent.

Feverfew

Purple Perilla (annual, free seeding, I just pull out where I don't want a pop of purple foliage.)

Variegated lunaria (money plant). Biennial. Fabulous bright white edged leaves and hot rich magenta flowers. Can bring hunks of seedlings that will bloom next year AND/OR ones that bloomed already in May, so you will have "money" seedpods and your own seedlings next year. It's a knockout! The only thing I have blooming now except bulbs.

Lily of the Valley (though they're not up yet)

BULBS:
Blue scilla
Limited quantity of Ice Follies white daffodils

@LinneaL

I would love some of your Chocolate Eupatorium & Ligularia Desdemona & Purple Perilla, please! Lovey dubby I'd also like some of your Variegated lunaria. Already bloomed would be fine Smiling

I have some Red Trillium that is in danger of getting trampled by my dogs. I can put something around them to protect them & can dig them up the day of the swap. I've read that they don't like to be transplanted.

I may have some Cherry Tomatoes, I'll have to check on those.

Just a heads up - there is a chance I might have a spare Violet Queen Salvia seedling to bring. If you're interested let me know. If anyone wants VQ Salvia seeds, I have plenty of those and can bring some.
