Re: [Gardening] Volunteer plants

I am interested in the Amsonia. Does it need sun, shade or both? What is your address? It may be noonish before I can get by. Would you be willing to save some for me?

I have some little seedlings for adoption--that or the weed pile. 1. Amsonia (narrow-leaf bluestar, originally from Plant Delights): maybe 2'+ high at maturity, mostly about the feathery foliage (golden in fall/winter) but the early blue stars/blossoms are nice with blue-ish irises. 2. Nandina (non-dwarf): lots of volunteers around the mother ship. Nice lacy faux-bamboo screening plant, about 4'-5', plus the birds like the berries and the bees get dizzy bumbling around in the pollen. 3. Red maple: just one, still teensy--but so pretty (and expensive) as they grow larger. The parent is almost certainly grafted onto another rootstock. I don't know if that's a requirement for the tree to survive/thrive, but I hate to just tear it out and throw it away. . . Email or stop by if you want any of the above.
