Have some plants to trade

15 years ago

I have the following to trade - trades only at this time please:

One Variegated Japanese Privet - this is in a very large pot. I'll need to cut it back and would prefer to trade this in a large flatt rate priority box to cut down on postage. I can probably fit some of the other plants below in the box as well. It multiplies from seed and can be considered a nuisance. I didn't realize what it was until just recently and I don't have a large enough yard to risk it.

Several sweet autumn clematis - I have a lot of these coming up in the yard and in one of my large beds and they need to be thinned out.

Several Native violets - I have solid purple and white with purple stripes/spots/speckles.

Kwanso daylilies - there are lots of these coming up in the grass and they need to be moved. Many are smaller fans, but will multiple quickly.

Nandina/heavenly bamboo - I have several of these in the woods behind my house. They will be different sizes and will need to be cut back for shipping. These may require a flat rate box as well.

I would love to find some plants for my woodland garden like ajuga, hosta, fern, columbine, bleeding heart, brunnera, hardy begonia , helleborus and heuchura. I'm not concerned about them being named varieties.

For sun plants, I'd love to have some white cannas, flowering maple, hardy geranium, milkweed, yellow native violet, variegated yucca, bananan hardy to zone 7, dwarf ornamental grasses and dwarf spirea.

I'm open to other plants as well, so feel free to email me if you have others to offer.

Thanks!

Diana

Hi Diana -

Do you know if tyhe variegated privet is hardy to zone 5? If it is, I could send you ajuga & hosta in exchange for it. We would have to wait for a couple of weeks at least, before I could dig up anything here though.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks, Carrie

question about ... free for postage plants

Hi Karly, Welcome to Garden Web, and the Plant Exchange. I don't recall anyone asking but it is a good question. First...No, you don't send the container that the plants or bulbs will come back to you in. The sender provides that, and often it is the free boxes provided by the Post Office. Most members, most of the time want, or require the postage be provided b4 the plants are shipped. Occasionally a member might have plants dug, be in a hurry to get them on their way while they are freshly dug, and then they collect the postage after the fact. Most of the time I require the postage up front, unless it is a seasoned member I have seen on the boards a lot, and that has some positive reviews at the Rate and Review Forum One thing I do not do, is I will not take a check...just too risky of a chance to maybe have it bounce, and the fees for that are not cheap. I accept paypal, but only if the funds in it are cash..and not funded by a credit card. I have the Free version of paypal and want to keep it that way. I leave it up to the sender oftentimes whatever they want to send. They can send cash, a money order (cost about 75 cents at WM I think), or they can send actual postage stamps. One thing that should never be sent is a postage tape...as it is only good for mailing a package from the PO where it was printed. The person making the offer will likely tell you of a few different ways to pay, and then let you decide what is most convenient and what you are most comfortable with. Yes...Garden Web is indeed a great community. Happy Gardening! Sue

kbischoff - You made me smile. : ) Anyone that's willing to cook and clean in exchange for plants must be a hard worker and a true garden lover. If you email me your address, I'll send you a box of plants to help you get started in exchange for a coneflower plant so I'll have something from your garden too.

Sorry, forgot to post what I would like in trade! lol. I am just interested in most anything, especially something new and interesting. Doesn't have to be a pond plant, I would love some yellow yucca. I have a red yucca, but have been seeing the yellow yuccas around and think they are beautiful! Anything else would be all right as well.

Diana,

I'm also interested in your sweet autumn clematis. I have dark purple columbine to offer, or would you be interested in some white-flowered astilbe? I just looked at my hardy geranium. Unfortunately, it isn't big enough to divide this year.
