Leonotis leonurus ?

[Susiebelle]

Has any one got a few of these seeds they could spare? I have lots of seeds available to swop, nothing unusual though sorry :-[
I would be happy to pay postage and pop in a few flower or veg seeds.
in return.
Here's keeping my fingers crossed.

hate to be a party popper susiebelle,but just wikipedia'd your plant,were you aware that is used as a substitute for cannabis?who wants it you or friend that has asked you to find it?

[Susiebelle]

Neither Poppy, honest ya honor ;D ;D

I have picked it up from the Amateur Gardening for late summer colour, it's supposed to be like a giant stinging nettle in early stages before developing huge tawny-orange whorls of flowers, picture reminded me of the phlomis flower.

can see what you mean,the flower is very beautiful.
however,some websites have been stopped from selling in large quantities.
google it and see.there are still some sites offering the seeds.
as i said i'm no party pooper.

[Rhubarb Thrasher]

Chiltern seeds had it, but seem to have stopped

hp://www.marijuanaalternatives.com/seedsplants.htm seem to have loads  :D (notice I didn't hyperlink it   :))

[Eristic]

I have a few small plants surplus. I'll look in the tin a bit later to see if there are any seeds as well.

[Susiebelle]

ooh thank you Eristic, plants or seeds please message me with your address and I will send postage.

Many thanks again.

Good luck with them...gorgeous plants. I had them previously :)

[Biscombe]

I have some plants too, I'm sure I saw some seed pods last time I passed them in the garden, would they stay true to form I saved the seeds? If the answer is yes, you could have some of my seeds.

[Susiebelle]

Thanks Biscombe, Erictic has offered me some plants :-* :-*, but if you have a few seeds to spare I would be grateful. Would you pm me your address and I will send you postage and if theres any seeds you are looking for please let me know.
Many thanks

[Susiebelle]

Eristic the plants  have arrived  in tip top condition thank you so much  :-* :-*
Is it best to overwinter in the greenhouse or am I ok to plant straight outside.

[Eristic]

I have no idea as to their care as I am growing them for the first time myself. If you have the space I would suggest growing them on in pots under cover.

Full or partial sun, grows to 1-3' in container, minimum temperature 35°, blooms in fall.

[Susiebelle]

Once again Mant thanks.
