HAVE: Greensboro area giveaways (or trade)

17 years ago

Hello,

I am having to make room for some new plants I 'had to have' so I have several established plants that have to go. Ideally, I would like to trade mine for something but if it comes down to it, I will be willing to let them go as long as you can come by and haul them off. I live off of Wendover & Rt. 68 so I am not hard to find.

I will be looking at all the responses and wait until I receive a few trade offers prior to giving them away. Considering most of these established plants are worth quite a bit retail-wise I hope you understand my desire to swap them for something.

Have:

Manhattan Euonymus 4'X3'

Juniper 'Old Gold' 2.5'X2.5'

Crimson Barberry (3) 3'X2.5'

Pampas grass divisions 1'X1' or >

Emerald Gaiety (3) 1'X2' (1 is 2'X3')

Dwarf Alberta Spruce (2) 2.5'X1.5'

Maiden Grass divisions or entire clumps (3) 7'X3'

Flame Creeper Azaleas (9) 1'X2'

Liriope (10) large clumps (can be divided)

Kopper King Hibiscus 4'X3'

Unknown Hibiscus (still in Lowes container)

Curly Leaf Ligustrum 3'X2'

Silver King Euonymus 2'X2.5'

Sweet Tea Olive 5'X3' Nice!

Leatherleaf Viburnum (2) 3'X2'

Pony Tails grass (3) 2'X2'

Hostas (10) (unknown varieties)

Sedum 'Autumn Joy'

Crimson Japanese Maple 4'X2.5'

In search of:

Armeria * (Easily found in HD/Lowes now)

Muhly grass or other dwarf ornamental grasses

Blue Oat grass

Variegated Iris (Zebra Iris)

Santolina

Craspedia globosa Drumstick *

or ???

Sort by:Oldest

I live in the Greensboro area and if you are giving these away I'd love to get some. I'm very new at this so I don't have anything to give for them
Thanks

The local Master Gardeners have a "passalong" sale at the end of April, so if you have any leftover plants after your Garden Web friends pick theirs up, we would love to have them. I have some things potted up...trillium, gingers, itea...to swap that I was going to put in the plant sale. Email me. I am in the NW section of the county but could arrange to come by. Again, this is assuming that your other Garden Web people don't take everything. They get first dibs!

Shannon, that sounds so good!! I wish I would have had more time to bake something, but with my son moving (he's gone now) and the wedding I just didn't do anything really nice this time around. I may try to pick up some muffins or donuts in the morning. I went out today and repotted some things and got the plants together, so I'm ready for tomorrow, except for the loading it into the truck. I have a few rooted Frosty Pink Brugs and took some more cuttings from it for anyone that wants to try their hand at it. I still have some spirea, 1 black stem EE, a bunch of Iris cristata, Althea (double blooms) just potted and just barely starting to root, a bronze fennel, a huge 4 o'clock, rhipsalis, monarda, unkwn daylily and irises, hosta, monstera, native yarrow, hardy geranium (it's pretty much gone dormant), hardy ageratum, malva mystic merlin, mini black iris ( I sowed last winter), and if we can find the time in the morning going to dig some black eyed susans and white butterfly ginger. If anyone wants some seed check my list for what I have and let me know asap. Plus I'm bringing buckets!

Oh my goodness!! I am SO SORRY all - I usually get email alerts and since I never got any and this forum was so dead so long I never checked back til now!!! I gave away various things and am planning to use some in a front garden the landlord let me clear, but I still can trade hosta divisions, ostrich ferns (they love spreading), probably other stuff too. I would love for someone to take away the extra bricks and slate. bricks could make a small project, slate is heavy, but could build paths or a patio for sure. I do have 4 purple potted trailing clematis that I bought years ago, love, have survived in pots for all those years now, but haven't found a good space for ever (I wanted to get them climbing). But I am not ready to surrender and give them away just yet! Might plant them in the front?? Happy to chat and talk trade with all. Also happy for any part-sun drought tolerant goodies you might have to donate to my buildings front space. I want it to look good, but I won't spend $$ on it! Apologies again. I'll make sure I update email info (don't want to post in case of spam trolling...) c

Hey John, Good to know !!!! I thought it was a winter hardy one.. along with Wonderful.. Well you saved me again!!! I will see if I can buy another Russian from our Local nursery( that is if they have any in the fall). I did go to the farmer's market to pick up a Persimmon for My friend.... who grow a lot of Indian vegetables and Are getting into growing fruits... I get a lot of Tips for indian veggies from them as they have farms in India. They are the ones who provide me the seed for my veggies :-) The farmer's Market guy has a pomegranate, but is not Russian. Not sure what cultivar it is. He does not know either.. I am guessing Wonderful as that is what seems popular.

Am so excited to have drupes on the new Edgeworthia papyrifera that I got this spring. If I can catch them at the right stage of ripe and then get them to germinate ~a year from now, it will probably only be another decade before flowering. So why am I so excited? I don't know but have decided to just enjoy the moment.

Forgot to add a few shrubs/plants on the list...I also have:

1 Beautyberry Bush (Callicarpa Americana) 3'X3'
? English Ivy (variegated green/white) varied length
1 Virginia Sweetspire (white bottlebrush flowers) 3'X3'
3 Verbascum (Silver Lining) in second "blooming year" 7'X2'

I'm not asking for much in return...I'm basically looking for some simple Ornamental grasses (even though I have a gazillion Pony Tails grasses I have to offer). If you don't have any OGs, they can be easily acquired at most any nursery, but technically, I don't know if it's exactly 'proper etiquette' (GW law) to ask others to "acquire" plants in exchange for others -- buuuuttt I have done so in the past in order to acquire what I considered a hard-to-find plant in my area -- is that the same as having to report finding a $5 bill on the sidewalk to the IRS? =)

Well...I'm not quite getting the responses I thought I'd receive. Perhaps it's too early in the season and most haven't come out of hibernation yet, hehe. Wish I could just sleep through into Spring of '08....yaaaaaaawwwnnn. Then again, perhaps I don't have what others are looking for. Hate to see all the $$ wasted and them not find happy new homes.

Maryann...welcome to the GW family. I'll definately have something free for you...please just give me a little time to attempt to swap for some Ornamental grasses or other 'wants'. Please email me in 2-4 weeks and remind me so we can then talk about what you'd like ok? What would you consider your top 5 wants from my list? -- and I'll attempt to hold one or more.

NCrescue, I would consider you just as a eligible for my plants as other GWers - I'm actually a little confused as to why you feel as though you would only get leftovers; then again, I am easily confused (remember Dori in "Finding Nemo"? - HA, she's too funny. I sent you an email about the passalong. Any chance you could ask around your Master Gardener friends to see if they would have any OGs available? I'm looking for Pink Muhly grass, Blue Oat grass, Pine Muhly grass (High Country Gardens), Japanese Blood grass, Dwarf Fountain grass, etc - basically most any dwarf OG should do. I have big'uns I need to divide and share - Maiden, Pampas and Zebra.

I can email digital pics of any of my plants above if anyone would like to see them.

til then, take care.

wherewewere, another thing you might consider, is our spring swap in High Point. If nothing else just to meet local gardeners and have fun!

wherewewere, I just noticed that you have sweet tea olive and the Crimson Japanese Maple. I really would like that, Please, please, please! But I also noticed that someone else on here has asked for them. Rats!
Dwarf Alberta Spruce would be nice, maybe a couple of your Flame Creeper Azaleas, and maybe some of your Pony Tails grass.
Anyway, I have some things you might like. Do you like daylilies? Not talking about the orange ditch lilies, but nice named hybrids. Also, I have tons of lycoris radiata and also rice paper plant.

Just thought I'd throw those out there.

You can see any of my plants and flowers at the link below.

Thanks,
Vickie
