    I would love the following:

    blueberry cuttings
    Epimedium
    New York Aster - pink flowers
    Hellebore - any
    Dianthus (not Sweet William) with good scent

    I am sure that I will add to this when I think of other things but this is a good start.

    I'd love to find some fennel and tarragon. Maybe some savory or some other herbs.

    And definitely some tabasco peppers. I think I got a bad batch of seeds!

    Adding to my wants list after watching what's coming up and what's died after this terribly long winter, I am also looking for some rooted highly scented rose cuttings (I am more partial to light pink and white/cream). If I can get guidance with unrooted cuttings, I am willing to try them, but I haven't had much luck before.

  • shadysite

    I would like

    rosemary
    sage
    artichoke plant? (I'm envious of my California daughter who has had one going for four years!)
    native plants for dry and damp shade -- we have ripped out a ton of ivy and have to hold a hill together!

    I also want a pussy willow cutting or plantlet and any type of heuchera, toad lily, turtlehead, or other native plant that loves shade to dappled shade, lots of clay, and occasional bouts of very damp soil. I need more things to plant along side oak leaf hydrangea/may apple/solomon's seal.


    Thanks, Lisa

    So I think most of you got the Cherry Bells from me, but somehow mine has disappeared. so...

    Campanula Cherry Bells
    Anything red.
    Dianthus, the kind with vibrant colors, not pink.
    Bear's Britches
    Haknoe Grass
    Plumbago
    Monarda 'Mahogany' (lost mine this winter)
    Mums. I'd like to find burgundy, the orange ones, and those gorgeous dark purple
    Lilies. (Not 'Ditch') Hopefully red or white.

    Thanks guys!

    I've been looking for alleghany pachysandra unsuccessfully. Would love it if anyone had some to share.

  • HotHabaneroLady

    Well, I found the tarragon, so I no longer need that. But I'd really like to find some plain terra cotta clay pots.
