Wanted - seeds for butterflies/hummingbird flowers

15 years ago

Hi all!

I'm looking for seed that I could grow for butterflies and hummingbirds. I'm specially looking for butterfly weed, salvias (prefer perennials) and agastache seeds in all colors. Please look at my trade list for possible trades.

Thanks!!!

Monica

I have 2 butterfly bushes that I started from seed and did not plant out last year. I have no idea what color the flowers are, but most likely they are purple or possibly white. They did not bloom last year but others I planted out are now quite large, so I am sure they will take off once they are in the ground. I also have some salvia subrotunda that has been inside over the winter. It would probably be perennial for you but it cannot survive the winters here. It has red flowers Also, I have salvia transsylvanica and salvia regeliana that are self-sown in my yard. These are not hummingbird salvias, but the butterflies and bees like them. They both have blue flowers. I would be interested in your pink rain lily and the queens tears. You can e-mail me if you are interested in trading. Becky ramazz

There doesn't seem to be a way to send you an email through Gardenweb. You won't get many responses because many of us don't want to put our addresses and personal information on the thread for everyone to see. If you go to my page and send me an email with your address I'll send you some seeds. Feel free to check my list to see if there's anything specific you want. I am in Nebraska zone 4/5.We have hot summers, too. I have quite a few flowers that butterflies like and I'm as addicted to saving seeds as I am to growing flowers. I'm not looking for a trade--I have more than enough seeds. Love to share with others. Heidi

Hi Guys!
I have responded to medo and gnomey, but I didn't get an email from velsgarden and I can't send you an email because the feature is not activated on your GW page. Please send me another email, I'm very interested in both of your seeds.

Thanks!

Hi Monica!

Please check my list and let me know if there's anything you'd like. I have some things that aren't on my list yet, so I can look through those for things the birds and butterflies will like. Interested in any morning glories?

I'm interested in your:
coreopsis - early sunrise
hollyhock - peaches and dreams
salvia - purple volcano
verbascum - banana custard
verbascum - snow maiden
petunia - opera supreme lilac ice

I know you have a limited supply of some of them, but I figures it's worth a shot! Just let know if you'd like to trade.

Thanks!
Diana
