WANTED: Looking for Angel Trumpet, Prickly Pear, and Hibiscus.

11 years ago

I am looking for Angel Trumpet seeds, seeds for a Prickly Pear Cactus that will grow in zone 7, and any kind of double Hibiscus that you might have.

I have a lot of different seeds but some of the rare ones are: Toothache Plant seeds, Ali Baba Watermelon seeds, Luffa, and Tigger melon seeds.

Sort by:Oldest

The only double hibiscus is my Confederate Rose Hibiscus which can get to over 20 feet tall if not cut to the ground each year

Jen, I can send cuttings of the plum. I have not tried to root them and was wondering if you had. I might try to root the Guthrie after it leafs out more. I can also send a bulb of the Eucommis. You can propagate Eucommis by carefully pulling a leaf off and planting the base of it in a small container of good potting soil. The leaf will gradually produce 2 small bulblets by the end of summer. I think Chickasaw Plums require 2 different plants to pollinate before they can fruit. The Indians had hundreds of cultivars, probably lost now. Does Cerinthe major grow easily for you? Mine keep dying. Mexican Petunia, dwarf pink is one I don't have. I'm waiting to see if Mirabilis longiflora comes back. It has smaller but very long stemmed white flowers with a fragrance similar to M.jalapa. I can swap you for a seed or two of Senna didymobotrya. I have Cassia or Senna hebecarpa, similar to C. marylandica. Have Salvia leucantha- Velvet Sage in two varieties. We may get seed of Sinocalycanthus this year. It had a few pods last year. Mike

Wow! Never realized just how much goes into caring for plants, let alone shrubs, trees, etc.! Hubby and I live in Pasco County Fl.. We moved here back in Feb. so whatever plants were here, all looked dead from lack of caring, as well as the "freeze" from time to time. We had no idea other than what our neighbors tried to tell us what had grown in the yards here. Come to find out we not only have the angel trumpets (have 1 peach, 1 pink, 1?), but pink and red oldeanders, jasmine bush, yellow mandiville, canna's, elephant ears, and others that look like them but have color,lol... hibiscus's, orange, and grapefruit trees, and god only knows what else. Oh and 4'O clocks, and lots of periwinkles (all different colors). I'm in "nature heaven" here and love it. It's been non stop for hubby and I as we try and get plants back to health, making gardens, arbor, and pulling out what is not needed. I lost 20 lbs, and got a great tan while doing it...rofl. Hubby and I are up there in years now (64 & 59), but we still have a zest for the outdoors and we love to stay active. Our daughter moved to Minnesota, and is getting married next year, and our son is married with two boys and one girl on the way, and they are our neighbors on the other side..lol. I guess I won't find any of these seed pods, so I guess like gottahosta said, use a cutting from it. As for "hand pollinating", never heard of that either...ha I'll get my pics. on photobucket and post a link to them shortly. Thank you all for the advice, and warm welcome.

I have 20 angel trumpet seeds, also some mixed cacti seeds with several different prickly pear species as well as saguaro in it. Can't help with the double hibiscus though, mine is just a reg hibiscus :/ i do have some other seeds from hawaii though: guava, macadamia, coffee, papaya

Do you have anything else to trade? Like maybe some carnivorous plants? Besides venus flytrap, i can get that at walmart. I would also like to get some lophophora seeds, or salvia divinorum seeds. Or a monstrose/cristate/caespitose variety of either trichocereus peruvianus or t. Pachanoi. I have normal peruvianus seedlings, and pachanoi cuttings are on the way in the mail

I can offer cuttings, but have not collected the seed of
my 3 Hibiscus. One is a double red. One is single bloom with varigated leaves. One is the green leaf, with red single blooms.

greenthumz1,
I am sorry but I don't have any of those seeds you are looking for. :(
I have some Asters, Forget-Me-Nots, Bachelor Buttons, mixed Chabaud Carnations, Gaillardias (just a few), and some Mammoth Sunflowers though.

djune,
Would you be willing to trade them for seeds? I am not good at taking cuttings yet. How does one ship cuttings anyway? I have so much to learn yet.

Thanks,

Dora

Hi Dora, I received these Hibiscus in cuttings. They are very easy to root. I put them in good potting soil, can use
root toner, (I don't every time) Keep the cuttings moist. They were put in Morning sun, and afternoon shade. We had such hot weather this Summer. I put a wire in the pot, with
a shade over the top. This seem to be the trick for the hot weather.
Let me know,

Sorry i don't have a very big outdoor garden (or yard) so i dont grow many flowers, just indoor plants and succulents and orchids and stuff. plus i only have 25 angel trumpet seeds and only one packet of that mixed cacti seed... I have a lot of trichocereus peruvianus seed though, idk if you would be interested in that. Do you like poppies? I have tonsssss of opium poppy seed, a friend of mine grows it and gave me several seedheads. There were 3 colors: light pink with lavender in the middle, red with purple in the middle, and purple with darker purple :) big beautiful blooms too!
