Tammy, I'd be interested in your buddleia and raspberry and wineberry starts if your buddleia isn't spoken for already and if I can tempt you with more trades.

Magic for white I'd suggest Phlox paniculata "David" (blooms all summer into fall), white bearded iris, orphanage plant (Kalimeris pinnatifida, grows to about 2' and blooms all summer). I can bring you a start of those. For purple Mexican bush sage is good; it blooms in late summer/ early fall and is usually perennial here. There are a lot of good sages that are blue/purple, MBS and Salvia "Purple Majesty" being the most purple. For orange Florida azalea, flame azalea, tithonia (annual). There are a lot of possibilities. It's the same color scheme I will be rebuilding around my own house this spring.

I wanted to add that if anyone is interested I can bring American snowbell cuttings and native jack-in-the-pulpit.

    Does anyone have any of the bicolor blue/purple & white Salvia? I'd love to find some!!!

  • woodsworm
    16 years ago

    I'm still desperate for beautyberries, either seedlings or plants. Prefer (purple) American Beautyberry but will cherish white as well. My modest trade list is http://www.gardenweb.com/members/exch/woodsworm

    Looking forward!

    Magic, I have the common passion flower if you would like that. I also have St John's Wort "Albury Purple". I know it is not the hypericum you have listed but if you are interested... if you have any hostas left I would love some. Shannon/Dirtrx

  • MagickMare
    16 years ago

    Shannon - Sounds great!! I have PLENTY of Hosta. I'll add you to my list.

    I know it may be zone pushing, but I'd love to find some white sage too - anyone grow this?

    Tammy, I'll bring you Salvia coccinea seeds. Our trade seems lopsided so if there's anything else you want let me know.

    Ralph, How about trading for Tiarella Snowflake?

    Shari that sounds good. Is there anything else you want in exchange for Salvia transylvanica?

  • moka_jo
    16 years ago

    woodsworm, would cuttings of beautyberry help you? I have two small beautyberry "Early Amethyst" that I planted last fall. (It may be exotic rather than native?) They're currently starting to leaf out. I have no idea how to propagate them, though. If you have propagation-from-cuttings instructions for them I'd be happy to help.

  • tamelask

    alicia, since you're twisting my arm, can i get some seed for s. roemeriana & ruellia "midnight"(dark purple foliage? flower? invasive? not finding much info on the web. :)

    shari, that sounds fine. i got a couple penstemons from ralph last year, but other than husker's red none were evergreen, so i'm guessing i don't have grapes.

    magick, when you say white sage, what sage do you mean? no harm in zone pushing- you never know til you try. when you say blue & white salvia i'm guessing you mean 'victoria', which is perennial about 1/2 the time here, even though it's labelled as an annual. if noone has it, garden centers sell 4 -6 packs of it cheap.

  • MagickMare
    16 years ago

    Tam - 'White sage' - Salvia apiana, also known as California White Sage. My "Gardens" keep morphing in my mind. I have a great (sunny, hot & sandy) place to push my zone - and I love the smell of white sage. Thanks for the heads up on the Salvia. Your Peony looks like it will be ready to bloom by the swap :)

  • rootdiggernc
    16 years ago

    Alicia, Thank you!.. What would you like for the formosa lily?


    Shannon, I have you down for sedums and hardy begonia for your white iris and viburnum. I was checking out your list would love some of your salvias "Argentina Sky" and "May Night" and the rebar shepard's crook if they're still available and I have something else you'd like? I updated my trade list.

  • alicia7b

    Tammy Ruellia "Midnight" is something that I got in a GardenWeb seed exchange -- when I googled it I found a photo showing a dwarf ruellia with a dark purple flower. I can't tell you if it's invasive or not like the native one.

    Rootdigger, how about trading for white digitalis?

  • tamelask
    16 years ago

    ok alicia- sounds good to me. the one i have is med sized, not too runny (but is in a spot where it could only go so far), and a med purple, not dark.

    thanks for the info on the white sage, magick. what does it smell like? i love the scent of clary sage, which to me is an herby grapefruit. and of course, who doesn't like pineapple sage scent? i'm excited about the peony. i have an area i want to put a bunch of them, and have been saving some up for a while. i just sprouted some seeds that had been in soil for a year stratifying of a single rose red color. i know it'll be a few years before they bloom, but i'm excited about a single. i bought 'scarlet o'hara' last yr- the prettiest single i've yet seen.

  • tamelask
    16 years ago

    amyflora- i forgot to address your ?. i have you down for poppy, larkspur and nigella seeds as well as 'buttered popcorn'. i'd asked for monarda blue stockings a while back. contraband girl would work if you want to add one more. thanks! tam

  • tietie
    16 years ago

    Alicia, don't worry if you don't have 3 azaleas. Maybe they'll show up in time for the fall swap.

    Tanya

  • dellare
    16 years ago

    Magick..I think I can get you some white sage. If you would like to trade I would love some orange daylilies. I'm not going to the swap but my friend Amy is so I could send it up with her. Adele

  • shari1332
    16 years ago

    I should have enough Salvia babies for all 4 of you. This is my first year with them so I'll let you know if I have problems digging them.
    Dana, could I have one of your 'Bengal Tiger' cannas?
    Shannon, I'd like to try 'Albury Purple' Hypericum.
    amyflora, SAK sounds great.
    and Alicia, I'd love a cutting of 'Sir Thomas Lipton'.

    Hopefully I'll be able to get at least 4 babies a piece for you. Mine bloomed first year and I know some of these babies germinated last fall.

  • MagickMare
    16 years ago

    Adele - That would be awesome!!! I can definately send Amy home with plenty of orange day lilies for you :) Any advise on growing the sage in zone 7?

  • Hollyclyff
    16 years ago

    Shari - I've got you down for Bengal Tiger then. Thanks!
    Dana

  • dirtrx
    16 years ago

    Shari- the St John's Wort just went. I can bring you cuttings though. I have the momma. Nn need to add that as a trade. I'm always nervous about bringing unrooted cuttings.

  • dtpforu
    16 years ago

    OK, who's got the white salvia???? I would like some of that, anything on my list you need?

    keithrnjd, I have some bloodroot that I got at the local arboretum at Tanglewood a couple of weeks ago. It had 5 bulblets. I could give you 2 if you like for some cardoon or hardy tapioca?

    nancedar, I can dig you some carrot crest. this is a double and I think you will like it. I think it's gorgeous!

    Here's what I have so far:

    Ais - Lycoris, Chinodoxia for Ginko
    Alicia7b Iris & Daylilies for Formosa Lily Seeds & Seedlings
    Tie tie Rice Paper for Tropical hibiscus
    Amyflora - Rice Paper for Kalimeris
    nancedar - Carrot Crest for Artic Queen Clematis
    ???keithrnjd - Bloodroot for hardy tapioca or cardoon ???
    dirtx - Surprise for B&B salvia

    Thanks,
    Vickie

  • aisgecko
    16 years ago

    Nancy, sorry I didn't respond earlier. I was out of town (grandfathers funeral, sniff). I am sure I can get some more daylilies for you and am very interested in both the yellowroot and the sedum.
    Vickie, what else can I get you? 2 for one isn't fair and the ginko is small.

  • dirtrx
    16 years ago

    Vickie- I just went outside and the "Sweet Kate" you gave me last year has already filled out and is blooming. It is so bright and cheery. Do you have anymore of that? I have more spots I'd love to light up like Kate is doing to my other bed. Shannon

  • shari1332
    16 years ago

    Shannon- if you still have Helenium that would work instead.

    Alicia, if you think it would be better we can wait on the rose cuttings. I'll bring your plants to the swap and we can meet later for those.

  • alicia7b

  • dtpforu

    dirtx, I'm sorry, I don't have any more of the Sweet Kate. I really don't care for Spiderwort, so I gave it to you last year. :-) However, the "suprise" I have for you is on your want list. Solomon Seal!

    aidgecko, what do you have? I don't mind giving. But if you have something I can't live without, let me know. hehehehehehehehehe

  • dirtrx
    16 years ago

    Shari- have you down for Helenium and cuttings of St John's for salvia trans. I translplanted some (Helenium)a few weeks ago and they were unhappy for a short time. They seem to need extra water at first (more than the normal transplant) but then settle in quite nicely. They should bloom this year. I wintersowed them last year. I would say that I would get these into the ground first. Some transplant are abled to be ignored but I don't think this is one of those. I think they will be fine but wanted to give you a heads up.

    Vickie would love love love to have Solomon's Seal. Lately, I have seen several combos with SS. Sorry Kate didn't do it for you but she's a definitely adding something to my garden. Shannon

  • moka_jo
    16 years ago

    Woodsworm, ok, I'll see what I can do. I was reading that they will root in sand, so I'll try to set up a couple of cuttings that way. It sounds like it's a bit early to be taking the cuttings, but it's worth a shot! Any chance I could get a little of your kalanchoe? Thanks!

  • MagickMare
    16 years ago

    yotedog - I just got a Hot Coco Rose, if you know how to root it, I'll bring you a cutting... Let me know

  • aisgecko
    16 years ago

    Vickie, I've got 'suncrest' and un-named orange asiatic lilies, japanese anemones 'Richard Ahrens', a tiny 'the Fairy' rose, 'Dilys' hardy geranium, pink lespedeza (I think it's 'gibraltar' or 'pink fountain' because I got it at PDN and it's never seeded around like some lespedezas), some daylilies, Hypericum calycinum, acanthus, mayapples, a tiny 'taube' hydrangea all potted up for the general swap. If you want any of those I will set it aside. My trade list is mostly up to date so if you see something on there I can try to dig it up. -Ais.

  • dirtrx
    16 years ago

    If I have a special trade with you please check on my member page under the "Seeds I have to trade" section to see if I have everything correct please. It has been a crazy week but I think I have most of my trades listed. I probably won't do any special trades after Wednesday just so I have time to make sure that everything is divided and boxed so if you wanna trade ...type now or wait for Saturday. If I have forgotten anyone or anything please don't hesitate to post. I don't trust the gardenweb email. Too many emails have been lost in cyberspace and I don't want anyone to be shortchanged. The Black and Blue salvias will be grouped together off to the side so people can just grab those as they walk by. I don't want to take up table space. Counting down the days!!!! Shannon/Dirtrx

  • dellare

    Magick, I am so sorry but I could not get the white sage for you. I checked from my computer at home and it was on our plant list at work but I checked at work and we do not carry it anymore. I asked the owner and he said that it just does not perform well here. When I had googled it I read much the same. It doesn't stand up to our heat or humidity. So sorry. Adele
