WANTED: Angelica? Meadowsweet?

21 years ago

I'm looking for some odd, old-fashioned stuff that I never see commercially, especially angelica, meadowsweet (filipendula), soapwort, lady's bedstraw, and other olde tyme stuff. I'm in Kingston, WA and willing to trade irises and other bulbs, plus I have a little white dogwood in a 1 gal pot right now. Thanks!

Hi Neb,
I don't really have anything to offer as I am currently building my garden as well, but just wanted to say that there are many people on this exchange that have some neat stuff "old" and "new". A great place to find a lot of old fashioned "pass along" type plants are the plant swaps you will see posted here. I think most are done until the fall, but you can arrange pre trades with the folks that will be there. Keep your eye out for the swaps in the fall. There are many in the Seattle area to attend. Good luck on your quest!
