Leigh's Have List

Herbs:
Achillea millefolium, Yarrow – white and pink varieties. These great spring/summer blooming perennials with a gray/green feathery foliage loves the sun. It can take some shade. The foliage lasts all winter. The white flowering plants are the most aggressive spreader. You need to cut back the dead blooms to keep it blooming all summer. Herb is used to stop the flow of blood from wounds (battlefield weed). –

Galium Odoratum, Sweet Woodruff. A medicinal plant and perennial ground cover with white flower that bloom in mid-spring. The perennial prefers shade and will go dormant in the heat of the summer. – Stephanie, smnp14

Marjoram. An herb, which is good ground cover, is a milder cousin to oregano. I love using this variety when cooking with chicken and mushrooms. This bright green perennial plant can tolerate sun, but seems to love shade. – Stephanie, smnp14

Oregano. An herb, which is good ground cover, is a stronger flavor and taller cousin to marjoram. This perennial plant loves sun and can tolerate shade. After a year, the plant has tall flowers in late summer. –

Salvia rosmarinus, Rosemary. When mature, this lovely kitchen herb had blue flowers that attracts bees in the spring and fall. The main plant is 5 feet wide and 3 feet tall, is about 10 years old, and has been cold tolerated to negative 20 degrees. –.Nwiles

Stevia. This sweetener herb is lovely. I put a leaf in my tea when brewing. It is supposed to be an annual in our climate, but has come back every year for over 10 years. - Nwiles ; Stephanie, smnp14


Native bloomers:
Asclepias, Milkweed (white/pink) -

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. – KimC

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. –

Geranium, Big Root ‘Lemon Scented’. Perennial with 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, the plant recedes back close to the ground and the some leaves turn red. No fuss ground cover and very few weeds. Partial to Full Shade. - Stephanie, smnp14

Hey Leigh. Would you trade wood ash for a rosemary and a milkweed? If so, how much would you like?

France, I would love trade for wood ash (any amount that you wish to give). This spring, I made some new rosemary cutting that should make it. I did not like the look of my rosemary cutting from the fall. I dug up a lovely milkweed for you.

CANCELLED

I don’t seem to have anything from your trade list. But hopefully you can take a look at what I bring

Hi Leigh. Please check out my list when you get the chance and let me know if you'd like to swap. Plants I don't have that I'd potentially be interested in from your list, as well as in order of preference, include: marjoram, stevia, garlic chives, geranium, sweet woodruff, some sedum.

Nancy,

I was nice to meet you and your girls. I hope you enjoy the plants.

Leigh:

I've got some cured wood ash. Can I trade that for Rudbeckia triloba?

Thanks,
Kim

Hi Leigh! I don't have any newspapers or leaves. If you're looking for 'brown' material for compost, I do have a bunch of cardboard egg cartons that could work. If you're looking to add material directly to your beds though, I don't have anything to meet that need. If a trade won't work, it's all good.

KimC,

I would love to trade wood ash for Rubbeckia Triloba, Brown-eyed Susan.

Leigh
