Title: Mirabilis Jalapa & Phlomis Russeliana, seeds available
Post by: hellohelenhere on October 09, 2008, 21:19:09
Hi all,
I have some seeds for Mirabilis Jalapa, the 'Teatime' plant or 'Four o'clock' plant.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirabilis_jalapa
Lovely vivid green leaves and very hot pink flowers, and seems quite immune to disease and bedragglement - the specimens around here all (London, and seem to like south-facing) look perfect. I haven't grown it before, myself - have harvested the seeds from neighbours.

I also have some Phlomis Russeliana, tall border perennial with soft yellow clusters of flowers and very architectural seed heads:

And here is my own swap request list:

cheers!

I'm interested, but I don't have the plants on your list. Would a few tall heritage peas be any good?

Tall heritage peas sounds good! So, how do we go about the swap arrangement? I'm new to this forum so don't know the process...
cheers
