HAVE: What I'm bringing to the green elephant swap

Posted by pixydish 8-ish (My Page) on

Here is my list for Saturday. First I'll list what I'm definitely bringing becuase it's already in pots, then what I can bring if someone wants it.
I don't necessarily need trades for this stuff unless otherwise stated. Most things I just have too many extras to keep.

Acnistis australis (Iochroma australis) - plants I grew from seed last year. They are zone 9. I have lots of them that have been growing the garden this year and won't overwinter unless I pot them. These are supposed to have blue flowers, but they haven't bloomed yet so i can't swear to it.

Mystery rose - dark pink, small tea rose type flowers. This was a freebie from Heirloom roses, so I don't know the name. It's a smaller rose bush, topping out at only about 2 feet. I'd like a trade for this if possible.

Siberian iris - bluish purple
Alchemilla alpina
Euphorbia 'Red Martin' seedling
Tall daylilies - mixed oranges and peaches with some single and some double flowers
Nepeta 'walker's low'
Cotoneaster microphylla

I have these if anyone wants them:
Hosta 'earth angel' - small pot
Impatiens arguta - cuttings, easily rooted
Pelargonium cuttings - pale chartreuse leaves with blue/green centers, salmon flowers
Coleus cuttings
Carex comans 'bronze' seedlings
Aconitum 'stainless steel'
Arctostaphyllos uva-ursi 'Massachusetts' - a prostrate form of bearberry. Nice, and doesn't get out of control.
Cotoneaster dammeri - nice creeping or cascading cotoneaster with bright red berries. Rooted pieces
Cuphea - little orange flowers - cuttings
Solanum pyracanthos - cuttings with wicked spines
Tradescantia pallida 'purple heart' - cuttings
Primula auricula - mixed colors
Begonia bolivianense - cuttings
Iris setosa var. 'artica' - I'd like a trade for this
Native snowberry
Native indian plum
Smoke tree seedlings - purple new leaves, yellow fall color

Special trade only: Cyclamen hederifolium - beautiful markings on leaves, pink flowers, tubers 1-2 inches across, blooming size. To trade for these, I'm looking for:
Other woodland flowers, especially those that will grow in my douglas fir woodland,
Seeds from castor bean 'new zealand purple'
Pink Siberian or Japanese iris
Iris chrysographes

Pixy, I've lost all my transdentia so would love some from you. Might you be interested in some named dahlia tubers in the Spring?

Great, Kelly! Glad they found a home.
Bejoy, I'll take a look at your list. The only thing I need a trade for is the rose.
