ooooo! I have runners from an 'American Heritage' raspberry bush. Delicious fruit, I must say, but I had no idea that if it's happy, it really spreads! I also happen to have day lilies, but they're commonly found: 'Pardon Me' and 'Little Business.' I love red. If you were feeling frisky, I could send you cuttings from Hydrangea 'The Swan' and 'Lady in Red.' If you haven't seen 'The Swan,' its blossoms look like giant dogwood blossoms. Stunning behind the red of the 'Pardon Me' and the gorgeous velvety purple of the clematis 'Jackmani,'Niobe' and 'Warsaw Nike'. (Not red, although the advertisements and posts stated so.) I can't divide my coneflowers yet (I have Sunset, Sundown and White Swan and love them) because they're still establishing. I'd love some of all 3 of your trade offers. JItP are notoriously hard to transplant as are trillium. How would you do that to best ensure survival? I'm curious. Thanks! Christine

I have Clematis Montana Rubens. I planted it last year planning to let it grow up and over my garage doors, but realized this year that that side of the house really doesn't get enough sun. I also have hostas 'goober' and 'gold standard'. In a few weeks I'll be taking cuttings from most of my roses, and can either send cuttings or can root some for you to send this fall. PLMK. Thanks! Amanda :)

Hi Clay! I have a few Catesbys Trillium and a boat-load of named Daylilies available for trade. Take a look at my trade list for the DL's and let me know if any of them interest you. Some are more "divide-able" than others.... If I have anything that interests you, I'd love to trade for some troutlily. Meg :)

usually break the very thin stalk connecting the corm to the leaves which kills the plant Judy, you don't mean kills the plant, do you? I think you mean that you lose the foliage. The corm should be fine for the next year. I find it best to dig them while they are first coming up - the link from foliage to corm is still relatively strong, it is only as the foliage ages that it weakens. But even when the foliage breaks off, I keep the corm and transplant it as intended. Bottom line for me: if you get the corm, they transplant fine. I've seen some folks dig up a clump (on a rescue) and never even realize that they didn't get the corm. So I'm sure those folks think they don't transplant well!
