WANTED: Perennial seeds for trade

18 years ago

I am a rural gardener who has a 3 acre yard I want to fill with perennials. I have quite a few seeds for trade and when it warms up I will have close to 100 different plants to trade. I really enjoy sedums, hardy geraniums and clematis. Any plants actually. I am listed as a zone 2a but can usually grow plants from zone 4. How do I know how many seeds to include in the exchange etc, packaging etc. is there any info on this site about that? As I am new to this could you please advise.

Thanks,

growjo

I have a variety of seeds on that list, and several others that aren't listed on my trade page at the moment. If you're interested, take a look at my trade list and let me know if you're interested in anything. My email is on my member page and I'm always looking for heirloom tomato seeds :)

If you are a Facebook user, join the groups "The Plants Exchange" and "Plant and Seed Swap (and chat)". There is a lot of seed sharing and trading on both of those sites.

Hi Growjo,
I think I am newer than you.... I have some yellow clematis seeds as well as the usual pinks and purples if you are interested.

I am interested in your clematis seeds. I have never grown clematis from seed-I just keep taking cuttings off my plants. I would love to try some though. I have sweet autumn clematis seeds if you're interested in a white clematis. Email me if you'd like to trade, also see my trading page for more seeds.

Thanks,
growjo
