Hi Joanne,

I don't have any seeds 'cos I planted them a few weeks ago, but I do have a couple of 5-6 inch seedlings you can have if you want.

Please PM me with your details

Joanne,

I have 'Nicandra Physalodes', own saved seed. Annual grows into a beautiful bush, with light blue or purple bell shaped flowers. Flowers August thru October, in 2005 still flowering in November. Popular name 'Shoo-Fly' supposedly it's sap kills any insect which feeds on it.
Height 36 inch. Amazing plant which grows from a tiny seed. Poisonous.

If you wish will put a packet in the letter to you, PM me

Cheers
Mikey

PS  A4A folks ... I have quite a bit of Nicandra seed if anyone else would like some, last season I had 100% germination and seeds in 'Poppy' quantities  ;D  send me a PM
