SkirtGardener's Plant List: Best in full sun

A note from SkirtGardener
Plants I offer generally range in size from rooted cuttings to quarts (convenient for keeping shipping costs low), and would be shipped without soil or pot. Items listed for trade as cuttings are often in rooted form.

Please be able to confirm the ID of anything you offer: that positive ID was not guessed at, and/or that it is a clone of the original and not from seed.

Most of my stock plants are still quite small, but I have a lot of variety... and hope to eventually have everything I list be available for trade. :)
