WANTED: Coleus/Impatiens

21 years ago

Hi everyone,

This will be my first year at winter sowing and I am trying to gather various seeds. I am looking for coleus seeds, particularly 'small red' but I guess any kind would do - something with a deep colour. I'm also looking for impatiens - various colours... I haven't been at all successfull at gathering these from my own impatiens.

I have a very small trade list since this is my first year gathering seed, although I must admit that I eye dying plants and flowers with a renewed interest -- are there any seeds I can snatch??? I'm hoping that someone out there is looking for something I might have. Even though the seeds I have to trade may be quite common... they are still lovely. Please contact me if you are interested.

Thanks,

L

Hi,
I will try and get seeds from my impatiens for which I would trade for the yarrow.

Most people find it difficult to winter sow coleus.

I have lots of impatiens, red, pink, purple and white, mixed, and also have coleus "Purple Palace" seeds (if I remember correctly). It is gorgeous, more than 3ft tall, very dark purple, almost black, very bushy, and takes full sun no problem. It has lots of seeds on it that I've started collecting for myself. I have some others, but I haven't let them go to seed. I will be taking cuttings to overwinter, if you want some, no prob. If you're interested, I don't mind a sase, there's not much I'm looking for right now.Just let me know.

Just checked out your list, I also have basil, bachelor buttons, will check for campanula carpatica, cause I know I have it in my garden, but will have to check for seeds. Also have chives, and oregano.
Also have tons of cosmos (white, pink and purple mix) if you're interested, and tons of white datura.
