I have fresh seed from the following:{{gwi:694700}}

- Celosia spicata "Flamingo Feather" A bit fussy to grow, but worth the trouble. ~ 24"

- Orlaya "White lace" Looks great with California Poppy. ~18". Long bloom season if deadheaded. Self seeds nicely. {{gwi:694703}}



- Tithonia "Goldfinger" shrub-like, dwarf (~4'), orange-red flowers that butterflies and bees just love

- Calendula "Pink Surprise" slightly pink blooms, otherwise a typical Calendula

- Heliopsis "Lorraine Sunshine" . Ok this is a perennial. Has variegated foliage, about 60% of seedlings come true-- others will be regular green foliage

- Mirabilis jalapa (Four O'clock) "Limelight" bright lime green leaves with hot pink flowers. Quite a show.

- Gaillardia pulchella (annual) "Sundance bicolour". These just wouldn't stop blooming, even when I got tired of deadheading.

- Malcolmia maritima (Virginia Stock) mixed colours, mostly lilac and white, super performers in drought and heat. Very easy.

- Incarvillea sinensis 'Cheron' (Summer Gloxinia) unbelievably long-blooming. Creamy white flowers do well in part sun

- Nicotiana red selections. Mostly dusky red and dark pink, about 4' tall, long-blooming

- Silene "electra". small fuschia blooms, reseeds prolifically, good for "wild garden" or difficult areas

- Schizanthus. Incredible blooms for a short time. best to succession plant this one. Really nice colour variations, pink-peach-yellow-lilac

- Amaranthus probably "Velvet Curtains" about 4', everything is dark burgundy. And big-- stake these with steel girders.

Trades only, please. I'm looking for:

Tithonia (Mexican Sunflower) YELLOW

Alternanthera ÂPurple KnightÂ

Millet "purple Majesty"

Petunia 'Flambe Salmon'

Petunia Tidal Wave Silver

Silybum, (Milk Thistle) Variegated

Convolvulus "Ensign red"

Carthamus (safflower) yellow

Nasturtium- Gleam "Golden" or other yellow variety

Ascepias tuberosa "Hello Yellow" or any yellow-ish variety

Lysimachia atropurpurea "beaujolais" (purple gooseneck / moneywort)
