Hello. Spring is fast approaching and I'm trying to set up trades early. I'm still looking for someone who has persicaria polymorpha (the white flowering kind) and persicaria bistorta 'superba'. I have scented geraniums, catalpa seed pods, and several other things. Shoot me an e-mail if interested, or just post here.

My e-mail is someguy00273952@yahoo.com

Thanks

There is a trading forum where you can request plants.

I tried on that forum and I've had no luck. There is no rule that states that you can't request trades here, so please stop bugging me about this, ok??

My Persicaria polymorpha, which I've had for a number of years, is 8 feet tall and 12 feet wide. It produces new blooms until early August, at which time the old blooms turn brownish and the whole thing looks pretty tatty. I cut it to the ground around the middle of the month. It doesn't regrow much. I love this plant, though it is enormous, and I love even more Persicaria 'Crimson Beauty' a very different looking plant--14 feet tall, bamboo like stems, but also a clumper. It blooms in very late summer and the ivory flowers quickly change to a deep, rich cherry red that lasts for weeks. With large grasses, it's unbelievable.

I have persicaria affinis dimity, while not what your looking for the growing conditions appear to be the same. With height and spread also seeming to be equal. So far there has been no seeding ( left seeds on plant to check). Very nice spreading and easy to pull up in spring if one wishes to control spread.Have it planted in moist soil full sun. Stays low to ground flowers rising above foliage. I've seen sites that describe flowers as reddish. They are not. They open soft pink turning rose pink. So far not a weed has popped up thru it. Very cute plant that is planted in front border of pink rose bed. Kids play basket ball up there so it's been stepped on with no injury. Maybe someone else has the one your looking for. I'm guessing they might be some what alike in many ways.

The instructions DO state: "Before posting a message, make sure you have chosen the most appropriate forum from the list. Off-topic posts will be deleted at our discretion."

Gottagarden is just trying to be helpful and steer you to a THE most appropriate forum, a forum where you would find more people with seed available to trade.

I think that my one single post to you hardly qualifies as "bugging you."

Also, you already posted this once, and are now posting it twice in a couple of weeks. If you aren't having luck here ( and you posted twice so you obviously aren't) then the plant trading forum seems like it would be the best place to get what you want. Why is pointing out an appropriate forum to you considered "bugging you". I thought it would be useful to you.
