I am about to split up a very large clump of this attractive plant. Anyone who want's some please let me know in the next two or thee days swops appreciated but not necessary.
Hello Larkspur
I would love a bit of this. I looked it up on google and its also known as lords and ladies. It looks a bit like an indoor plant we use to have in South Africa called a crows foot. Don't know it by any other name. I have just the right spot down my alley for it.
My trade list is listed lower down - have a look and let me know your fancy - flower or vegetable.
Let me know is you want to swop and I'll send you my PM.
Hi Jitterbug,
some of yor Allium Purple seeds would be nice. PM me your address and I'll get a lump of the Arum in the post to you.
It's a woodland plant, very pretty but extremely poisonous.
Lords and Ladies is, but a lot of arums actually seem to do better in the sun, though they're pretty adaptable. They seem to do well anywhere in my garden, though I can't flower A. creticum for some reason.
Arum maculatum is our native woodland "lords and ladies". Arum italicum needs a degree of sun to produce its best show of berries.
Thanks Larkspur - you've got yourself a deal. Alto I don't have much left - must remember to take it off the list. Are you sure that's all you want? I have sent you my PM. Let me have your PM so that I can pop your seed in the mail tomorrow.
Thanks to the others for their suggestions. The position I had in mind is west facing and does get a bit of afternoon sun. Once the creeper has grown over the trellis in Summer it should get the same effect as a woodland setting??? ???
And I'll remember not to take a bite of it ;D Have no small children so no problem with that one. ;D
This swop is now closed. Thanks for the swops it generated. ;D
