Leigh's Have List - updated 5/7

2019 Spring Have List

Iris, bearded. Has white flowers with a purple hue that blooms mid spring. The perennial loves sun. I dug these up last fall. – five 1 quart pots.

Ranunculus bulbosus, bulbosus buttercup/St. Anthony’s turnip, perennial/bulb. This is a lovely east Tennessee wildflower. The stems are 20–60 cm tall, erect, branching, and slightly hairy flowering. There are alternate and three-lobed long-stemmed basal leaves on the stem. The flower forms at the apex of the stems and is shiny and yellow with 5–7 petals. The flowers are 1.5–3 cm wide. The plant blooms from April to July. Foliage dies in the summer but will reappear in the fall/winter. – five 4” pots.

Rudbeckia triloba, Brown-eyed Susan with short yellow petals. This short-lived perennial wild flower is native to east Tennessee and North Caroline. H 2'-5', loves moist soils in full sun to part sun. Brilliant yellow flowers with black centers in Aug-Oct. Three-lobed leaves. Attracts butterflies and blooms until freeze. My original plant was a rescue by the local sunflower association and I have loved it. It may not bloom the first year. When it begins to bloom, it will bloom several months and survive frost. It reseeds itself. – eight 4” pots.

Rudbeckia hirta, Black-eyed Susan with long yellow petals and black centers. This perennial wild flower is native to North America and beyond. Grows 24-30 inches high, slowly spreading to at least 2- 3 feet wide. Adaptable to a wide range of soil types and is fairly drought tolerant. The only maintenance Black Eyed Susan requires is a quick trimming of the dead flower stalks during the fall. Full sun to part sun. It has alternate, mostly basal leaves 10–18 cm long, covered by coarse hair, with stout branching stems and daisy-like, composite flower heads appearing in late summer and early autumn. Attracts butterflies. It is a well behaved and spreads slowly by root. – eight 3” pots.

Aloe Vera is a succulent plant species of the genus Aloe. Aloe is a primarily house plant in Tennessee, because it is intolerant of heavy frost and snow. I like it in the kitchen to treat burns and one of the best house plants for filtering air. In pots, need a well-drained sandy soil, sunny location, and not much water. – two 4“ pots.

Geranium ‘Lemon Scented’. Perennial. Lemony scented when crushed or watered. Pink flowers for two to three weeks in the Spring after the tulips have blooms. Loose roots that are great for covering bulb beds. In spring it raises up to 18-24”. In the fall recedes back close to the ground and the leaves turn red. No fuss ground cover and very few weeds. Partial to Full Shade. – two 1 gallon pots (1-Suzanne)

Arisaema triphyllum, Jack in the pulpit. Bulb type perennial. The green and purple strip flower blooms in mid-spring. In the summer and winter, the plant goes dormant. Prefers shade – two 1 gallon pots (1-Suzanne)

Sedum ‘Lemon Ball’. This hardy stonecrop is very similar to ‘Angelina’ but with brighter chartreuse to lime green foliage and without the orange highlights in winter. The yellow spring flowers don’t show up well against the leaves but it makes a great accent in mixed containers or border foregrounds. Drought tolerant. Grows 4-5″ high by 10-12″ wide. Hardy to zone 3. – 2 4" pots (1-MaryS)

Sedum various species. These hardy small stonecrops die back in the winter and reappear in spring. I have varieties that I have not identified - a grey beaded, red veins with green leave and a yellow flower, green and white, gray coral, etc. – 6 pack GONE MaryS

Sedum tetractinum. Coral reef stonecrop, a perennial, flowers in the summer after it has matured. It is basically quick growing ground cover that is beautiful and changes color depending on how much sun it gets. Will send a generous amount with roots. Very easy to replant. Full sun. Star-shaped flowers are usually in clusters or sprays that often change color throughout their bloom time. – 4" pot GONE Ronnie

Sedum spurium (Phedimus spurius) 'Ruby Mantle': A vigorous plant that flowers brighter red than 'Dragon's Blood'. Big attraction is handsomely formed ruby-red leaves. – 4" pot GONE Ronnie

Paeonia, Peony. Has a fuchsia pink flower that blooms mid – spring. Plant is from perennial root ball. Cut back each year. Does not like being moves and take up to 3 years to bloom. Loves sun. – one 3 gallon pot GONE MaryS

Hosta, blue-grey with a medium-size leaf. Perenial. Dies back in the winter. -one 1 gallon pots GONE Samantha

Rubus occidentalis “Jewel”, Black Raspberry/Blackcap. I bought my canes a three years ago from an Ohio nursery and they are fast growing. I remember Blackcaps from my Aunt’s garden in Washington state and have never seen them in a store. When the raspberries turn black, they are sweet, are seeder than red raspberries, and smaller than commercial red raspberries. Jewel specialty was bred in New York and named in 1973; it is slightly late in ripening and is one of the most disease-resistant varieties. Bristol is one of its parents. My Knoxville plants fruited in the first week of June. The canes have plenty of thorns. –1 gallon pot GONE KimC

Achillea millefolium White Yarrow is a graceful perennial wildflower which produces an abundance of huge, flat clusters, 5 in. ... Both flowers and foliage are attractive and long-lasting, making White Yarrow a wonderful garden plant and a great choice for prairie or meadow plantings. This flower has lovely foliage all year and blooms spring to fall. In good soil, it spread fairly quickly. Loves sun. - two 1 gallon pots.

Stevia rebaudiana is a tender perennial herb. My Stevia plants have been coming back every year. In the late fall, I harvest the stock to 1-2 “ from the ground and pile on the mulch. Each year more plants come from the base that I can separate with some root. It is a natural, calorie-free sweeter found in its leaves. Loves the warm sun and dies back in a freeze. Gardeners in frost-free areas enjoy growing stevia year-round, allowing it to grow into a small shrub. - six 4" pots. (1-Frances)

Polystichum acrostichoides. The Christmas fern got its name because it stays green right through the holiday season. It is a robust, leathery fern which has glossy, green fronds year-round. The fronds grow in clusters from a crownless rootstock and range from 1-2 ft. in length. Fertile fronds are taller. Christmas fern is very easy to establish and grow where conditions are right. It loves shade and will burn in the noon day sun. It requires cool, moist, well-drained soil in shade. In the right spot, it can be a good, evergreen border or accent plant. Though often used as a groundcover, it is a clumping fern, not forming a continuous, undifferentiated carpet the way some ferns do. I have enjoyed this native to East Tennessee for many years and have divided it many times. I have seen it in the Smokies. 1 gallon pot . GONE MaryS

Galium Odoratum, Sweet Woodruff. A medicinal plant and ground cover with white flower that bloom in mid-spring. The perennial prefers shade and will go dormant in the heat of the summer. – 3" pot GONE amyhaun

Bibb lettuce seedling - need to be put in the ground. ten 2" pots

Basil seedlings- six pack.

Tomato, cherry. 1 peat pot

Leigh,

I would love to trade for a geranium and a jack-in-the-pulpit.

Suzanne

Leigh,
I would love a peony and some sedum. I am just getting sedum started and have several places I want to put it. My list is posted but I’ll probably be adding more.

Leigh: I am interested in trading for your 'Jewel' black raspberry. I posted a message on your want list.

Thank you!

~Kim

I would like to get a stevia if there is anything on my list that you would like.

Leigh, I’d love some of the coral reef stonecrop or ruby mantle. Just put together a large succulent planter and would love to add some fun color in there! Please check my list if I have anything you’d like!

Leigh,
If the Christmas fern is still available, I would love to have it if there is anything on my list you would like.
Mary

Hi Leah.
I’m interested in the sweet woodruff. Will get specifics of my list posted later today. Know this is pretty close to the swap for you to dig some and understood if you can’t.
