| I know this is totally off topic!! I know this is the totally wrong forum!! I made an offer last year to you guys for my perennial plumbago well it is a tad late but I am still offering the offer for postage. If you are interested I will let you decide on how you would like to receive it.
I am offering this plant because this is a great ground cover for full sun that it is totally drought tolerant that I can NOT figure out how to save the seeds from. Soooo I am offering you guys the chance to help me figure the seeds out. I seriously do not know if I am just trying to start the seeds wrong or if I am collecting only chaff. About the plant: It grows in full sun. Drought tolerant. Only pest that I have ever noticed to bother the plant is spider mites. This is a true blue perennial I mean true blue!! It grows to be about 8 to 9 inches tall and it does spread by underground rhizomes. I haven't really noticed it being invasive but it does spread quite nicely. It pops up a little late in spring and is starting to bloom now for me and will continue to bloom till frost. When frost arrives it will turn a red auburn color, which is attractive if you ask me. It is a woody deciduous ground cover type plant. Hardy to zones 5-9. Post here if you are interested and I sure hope I am not offending anyone by posting this here!! Taken just a few minutes ago.
Here is the plant and the root.
Taken a few years back while more in bloom.

| From the research I have looked up it says that it is hardy to zone 5. Shoot me an email. Michelle I even think that this can be shipped in a bubble mailer. This is a tough rhizome plant that hates wet feet that is totally easy to get established. |

| I think I am having problems receiving email through gardenweb. If anyone sent me an email and I didn't reply please do not think I am snubbing you. See if countrycarter@att.net works or the nojunkmailplz@bellsouth.net. |
