Wanted: Bishops Weed Have: Japanese Lilac, others..

11 years ago

I am looking for the agressive groundcover Bishops weed or other agressive types. I have lots of ground to cover, Zone 5, poor soil. I am now battling puncture weed and would like a non-stick replacement that can push this out. I have Japanese tree lilac (white bloom on top side of branches - very attractive), Japanese white birch seed, and others. Also extensive seed list.

HI, if you can wait a couple of weeks, I can send you a stuffed med size flat rate of Bishops Weed, lamium "Chequers" and ligularia seedlings (this is the big leaf, not the rocket). The bishops weed will be cut back a bit, as we have already had a few weeks of summer growth:(
I am moving and packing time is of the essence.
I would love a box of neat rock/stones.
I have some serpentine from when I used to vacation in Sandpoint..although those times are over..I haved loved every visit. PLMK as my email etc will be changing in about 10 days.
