SELF-SOWED OR SPREAD AND NOW I HAVE EXTRA:

Alchemilla mollis (LadyÂs Mantle)

Allium schoenoprasum (Chives)

Anemone x hybrida ÂKriemhildeÂ

Campanula persicifolia (Bellflower, the blue kind)

Campanula portenschlagiana (Dalmation Bellflower, blue)

Digitalis (Foxglove, wild)

Fragaria vesca ÂPineapple Crush or ÂAlexander (alpine strawberry, white or red)

Note: I donÂt know which are the white (Pineapple Crush) and which are the red (Alexander) ones (not until they make berries later this year). Both are great. Probably my favorite plant in the entire yard  the berries are delicious, they grow anywhere, birds and other animals love them, they transplant easily and self-sow very readily.

Helictotrichon sempervirens (Blue Oat Grass)

Knautia Macedonia

Polemonium carneum ÂApricot DelightÂ

Rubus cockburnianus ÂAureusÂ

I love this plant  the stems are a lavenderish-white, and the leaves a lemon-lime color. I only have 1 or 2 new starts of this, though.

-------------

DEER VICTIMS:

Geum chiloense ÂLady StrathedenÂ

I love these, but every year the deer bite the tops off right before they bloom. They need to be somewhere other than my yard.

Rubus (raspberry  unsure which variety)


------------------------------------

PLANTS I DIDN'T PICK AND DON'T WANT:

Asphodeline lutea (KingÂs Spear)

Sedum ÂAutumn JoyÂ

Unidentified bronze ornamental grass

Note: I wasnÂt told what this was when it was given to me, but it just isnÂt my thing. The blades are quite fine in texture, and height and width are about 2Â

--------------------

PLANTS THAT HATE ME:

Elaeagnus pungens ÂFruitlandii (Fruitland Silverberry)

Quantity: 2 shrubs approx. 4Âhigh x 3Âwide

They have never been happy in my yard and have not really grown much since I got them 4 years ago. When they do put on new growth, the leaves eventually fall-off the new parts so that the plant is back to its original size. Maybe someone else will have better luck with them.

Miscanthus sinensis ÂGracillimus (Maiden Grass)

Quantity: Two mature plants (approx. 5 years old)

These have never "bloomed" for me. IÂm sure someone else will have better luck.


What IÂd like in exchange:

Woolly thyme

Corsican mint

Creeping phlox

Aubrieta

Iberis (candytuft)

Bellium minutum

Ilex aquifolium

IÂm also interested in anything fragrant.

I donÂt know if this is done or not (this is my first exchange), but IÂd also take rocks in exchange -- anything cantaloupe sized or bigger. IÂm thinking in terms of the river rocks that youÂd dig-up on your property, as opposed to that black basalt stuff that is purchased for commercial retaining walls and such.
