AA This is a list of plants I have to sell or trade. You will have to drive over here, NW IL, to buy or trade. I DON'T SHIP PLANTS. Thanks. I love plants that work hard putting on a show in my sunny NW IL garden, zone 5a. Plants that don't bloom a long time or that are ugly most of the year have been removed in favor of star performers. I don't keep plants that have thorns, are terrible thugs, or badly eaten by Japanese beetles. I don't keep plants that need to be sprayed, smell bad, or can't take our wind & hail storms. If a plant is prone to runner sideways, or fill a space quickly I tell you. This may be a virtue or a problem depending on your needs. Most of these plants get no extra water other than the 40 inches rain God blesses us with every year. You will need to water them until they are established, of course. Plants that grow quickly I can trade a gallon pot size or more. Plants that don't might only be a 2 inch pot size. More, yes more, ( evil laugh) cool garden pics. are parked here: http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/cheerpeople | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Allium Species allium senescens I grow this for the dense patch of twisted skinny leaves. Blooms in the FALL. Drought tolerant. Full sun | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
|
| Dusty Miller Artemisia ludoviciana I think this is 'Valerie Finnis' It is slightly different than 'Silver king' but you have to look close to see it. my pic | 'valerie finnis' | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs, Cuttings |  (cheerpeople) |
asiatic lily -my pic/exact color of stella de oro daylily/ 2' Let's call this one stella colored lily BULB ( not day lily) if you want it. | Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
|
asiatic lily- my pic.have tons! blooms late june here for 3 weeks. Will make more bulbs. For the sake of a name call this one 'orange lily bulb' if you want it. | Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
|
| Celmisia Species aster This is my huge aster. Huge! 4 ft wide. blooms Aug 20 for 8 weeks. Attracts butterflies. My pic. I also have small and medium varieties of purple aster available.- all are passalongs with no cultivar name. | Plants, Cuttings | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Calamagrostis Calamagrostis acutiflora | 'Overdam' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
| Calendula Calendula suffruticosa subsp. maritima note- I don't have this kind. Just plain calendula in yellow- orange. It is a reseeding annual, which means like a perennial you just plant it once!....and the calendula reblooms from it's own seeds the next year. Everybody asks what this is so must not be that common around here. | 'Summerlovers Skyfire Yellow' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
| Campanula Species Campanula glomerata | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Canna Lily Canna x generalis lovely even not in bloom. Blooms Aug 21 here. A garden must! store rhizome indoors for winter in cold climates. It grows more rhizomes which is good as I lose 30% during winter storage. | 'Tropicanna' | Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
| Cerastium Species Cerastium tomentosum spreads sideways in time. a tough plant that needs no care. One of the first things to show off in the spring. Gray foliage is attractive. Takes drought too. My pic. Looks great tumbling down these rocks. | Plants |  (cheerpeople) |
|
Chrysanthemum this is my pic. Less bug damage than others types blooms Aug 25 for 8 weeks or frost! | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
|
columbine my pic- to far left must be 2 ft tall downward ruffled blooms | Plants |  (cheerpeople) |
|
columbine columbine the dwarf blue ones in this photo. Other black combine (3 types) in my photobucket link in the May album. Seed trade requests must be placed before I cut these down- I don't just collect these for the heck of it. | Seeds, Plants | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Consolida Species Consolida regalis this is a reseeding annual. Reseeding makes it easy like a perennial as it blooms every year without any more seed planting on your part. It just plants itself. | Seeds, Plants | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Convallaria Species Convallaria majuscula I also have white flowers. Pink flowers are smaller. Lily of the valley prefer shade and runner sideways popping up next year in a new place. The white ones have fragrance. | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
|
| Coreopsis Species Coreopsis My pic. Perhaps called zagreb. At least a foot tall and wide. Full sun, drought tolerant. | Plants |  (cheerpeople) |
|
| Coreopsis Coreopsis grandiflora self sows and those will bloom the same summer. 50 days of blooms starting mid june. short variety. easy. my pic | 'Early Sunrise' | Seeds, Plants | (PlantFiles) |
| Coreopsis Species Coreopsis tinctoria self sows reliably which is good since it's an annual. I like this one even more than 'early sun' as it doesn't have to be deadheaded to look nice and the leaves are smaller. easy. | Seeds, Plants | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Cyperus Species Cyperus papyrus Houseplant for winter in cold climates. Very impressive size. Also did fine in garden that was a bit damp but not a pond. Purchased infested with scale but mine have been free of it over a year now with a significant investment of my time. Since I paid full price in more ways than one, a trade to you will be full price too. | Plants |  (cheerpeople) |
|
Daisy 18 inches tall or so. It seems these don't transplant as mature plants for me. I advise getting a smaller one that is not in bloom yet. | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
|
daylily SOLD OUT I have this un named late blooming 2 ft tall daylily. Blooms mid July for 2 weeks. For ID request "Late Red daylily" I have 12 types of daylily. I am not interested in trading for more. Trade me something else. | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Dianthus Dianthus gratianopolitanus i don't know the exact name but it's fragrant and looks like this and is very easy. Blooms in May for weeks. Can also be grown from cuttings. Grey groundcover-like foliage is nice to cover edge of concrete around my porch.This is a tough spot to grow anything. Drought tolerant. Will fill space if you want more but I cut it back after it blooms | 'Mountain Mist' | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
| Eschscholzia Species eschscholzia annual called california poppy, not mexican whatever. Not really a poppy at all. Blooms much longer than papaver poppies and with many many more flowers. my pic. lovely plant | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
|
| Heliopsis Heliopsis helianthoides var. scabra easy to grow. Some seed come out variegated others do not. Eager to self sow. blooms a long time. my pic. Popular trade plant with visitors. Very SHOWY and some years does get powdery mildew for me. | 'Loraine Sunshine' | Seeds, Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
heliopsis- my pic - dark stems My tallest heliopsis. Needs staking to stay tall or it lays over and looks pretty that way in bloom too. By mid July has powdery mildew. The dark stems are very pretty. Loves sun, drought tolerant. Doesn't spread fast at all.Self sows but not true to type. My pic. | 'summer nights' | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |
| Daylily Hemerocallis tall. A triple bloom, of 18 petals. The only triploid daylily type in the world. I've been warned it will runner but so far it hasn't. | 'Kwanso' | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |
| Daylily Hemerocallis blooms 7/1 for 3 weeks here | 'Mini Stella' | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
| Daylily Hemerocallis have tons of this. The longest blooming of all daylily. A real workhorse. | 'Stella De Oro' | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
| Daylily Hemerocallis SOLD OUT! We think a better name for these colors would be 'peanut butter and jelly' 14 in. scapes. larger flowers than stella. | 'Thunder Patch' | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |
| Species Daylily Hemerocallis fulva This pic does not do it justice.tall, easy, naturalized to ditches here where it does fine without mowing or any care. We burn our ditches every year and this survives. Will spread via underground rhizomes and make a clump quickly. Do not put it with delicate plants as it's a bully. | Plants | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Hosta Species Hosta plantaginea has fragrant flowers, I'm told the most fragrant of any hosta. can take full sun. good slug resistence. I do not want any more hosta. Trade me something else. | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
|
| Species Iris Iris tall bearded iris, ( not a species) grape smell, great variagation Purchased 3 types with different names- they all look the same. My pic. More special. One fan = a trade | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs | (PlantFiles) |
|
| Standard Dwarf Bearded Iris Iris I was traded this plant. I am told it is the cultivar 'stitch witch' Mine blooms early with other intermediate iris not later with the tall bearded iris. | 'Stitch Witch' | Plants |  (cheerpeople) |
| Siberian Iris Iris sibirica I prefer siberian iris foliage to bearded iris. It looks like a grass plume. Siberians can take a bog like soil where as bearded types rot. Fine without any extra watering too. The blooms on siberians are smaller but they both bloom a short time anyway. I have burned off the foliage in late winter and the plant lives anyway. Easy. Does best in full sun. | 'Caesar's Brother' | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
iris pseudacorus this is my pic. Also can be waterplant Can go full sun to full shade. Large shovel-bending rhizomes. Flowers are yellow. Will gain size quickly. MUCH larger than bearded iris. Much bigger rhizomes too. blooms june 2 for 2 weeks here. | Plants, Roots, Tubers and Bulbs |  (cheerpeople) |
|
Ligularia Ligularia 'Rocket' shade plant, likes it moist. my pic. blooms mid july. Something damages the large leaves later summer. Maybe slugs. | Seeds, Plants | (PlantFiles) |
