A terrible storm toppled two large stalks off my tree dahlia. I've been told you can start new plants with stem cuttings, but I have never tried (one of these giants is enough, lol). I can offer multiple stem pieces per trade. HIgh on my want list right now are rhiz. begonias with interesting leaf colors, Egret Flower(Habenaria radiata),or Worsleya procera, amaryllis, orchids, but will consider any heat loving shade plants. Tempt me. Lori Here is a link that might be useful: Dahlia Imperialis Double or Nothing

Clare, would you mind sharing where I could find tree dahlias? Thanks, Carla

Hey elsedgwick can U email me pleeeeease ???!!! I will trade or pay whatever u want for cuttings of both your double tree dahlia varieties this fall ?!?? I have SOO MUCH to trade & will pay for S+H & cash for both!!! I've been dying to get my hands on the white & pink?? Double dahlia trees!! Only 2 places sell them & they're always sold out! TedDahlia, I also have the single purple imperialis dahlia tree. Mine is still very small bc I just bought it :( after I plant it & it grows a little bigger, I would gladly send rooted cuttings. I bought mine from Annie's annual & perennials :) I paid 9.95$ or 12$ for it . It comes in a small pot but her plants are always extremely healthy! The only problem I have is her shipping is high but I'm guessing it's bc I live across the US in Florida when she's in California. I think last time I checked she was still in stock ? My email is crossrachel@icloud.com email me plz :) :)

Whoopie! Thanks so much for those nursery names. I tried the first three and got the same results I got on my own...none in stock or not shipping. But on that last one JACKPOT! They had multiple types. I'm ordering the double lavender. I live in Tampa so no problem growing them here. They did have a minimum...which first meant I had to get three plants. I was going to offer the other two for trade/sale, but then started cruising their catalog and had no problem then hitting that minimum, lol. Thanks again, Lori
