WANTED: needs pond plants I have many flowers to trade

15 years ago

I had to do it, I built a small 1000 gal pond and now need some plants. I'll take anything that grows in my area in or around water. Zone 7

I have many yard plants but not enough water plants. I bought three things so far and some special dirt and the baskets but they look pretty lonely.

I can trade day lilies, ( yellow) (orange) and (peach) and hydrangeas, several ground covers... can't remember the name can send you some pics. Also two or three types of ivy variegated and regular, cone flower, black eyed Susan's, iris, mostly lavender but some white also, lots of tall orange cannas and some yellow. Also can't remember the names but I have a variety of succulents, several clematis, purple, or light pink almost white, mint, basil, monkey grass both kinds, crepe myrtle babies mostly dark pink, rose of sharon lots of colors, mums, butterfly bush purple, and many other perennials.

If there;s something you want ask, I may have it. Thanks for your time and I hope to meets some pond folks.

Hi there. What are you looking for? I have a water lily, but I am not sure what it is, it hasn't bloomed yet. I also have parrots feather, penny wort, and a small water iris. If you are interested send me an email. There are several things on your list I am interested in. Thanks, Misty

Your parterre sounds so lovely! I have a suggestion for the roses that you can find in Europe but not so well here any more. They are the Poulsen groundcover series that was called Towne & Country roses. I have grown two of them for years (Pebble Beach and Natchez), and they are very special groundcovers, imho. You can definitely cut them shorter and they will still bloom profusely. The foliage is miniature and perfect! They bloom in a ton of shade for anyone who needs that, which I do. The flowers aren't as big as the ones you are considering, though. They are very charming and just great roses, so I thought I'd mention them. The effect is like a miniature version of The Fairy. The names used vary, so check them out on Help Me Find. I'd probably check for Poulsen groundcover roses at any nursery you are considering and look them up to see if they are part of this series, because the marketing on these seems all over the map. More in the series whose names I remember: http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.3840.4 http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/l.php?l=2.24749.3 They spread sideways but no so much up. Groundcovers like to get very tall here, so the low growth is nice. They are just the best roses! Here is a link that might be useful: Pebble Beach (Poulen Towne & Country series)
