offering scabiosa cretica & mandevilla laxa seeds
« on: November 15, 2009, 08:52:42 PM »
Hi Everybody
I have a few Scabiosa Cretica seeds left for anyone interested.
I also have some Mandevilla Laxa seeds: this is not an alpine plant so didn't sent to the exchange but makes a very nice and strong climber suited for a glasshouse though it proved hardy planted outside here in the center of France ( it surely can withstand -5° in a sheltered spot ). It has fragrant white flowers so well worth trying.
Please send me a PM
Regards
J-Patrick

I can also vouch for the Mandevilla laxa.  I grow it here on an Eastern wall and it survives our winters without a problem.  It flowers for MONTHS, with the flowering stem continuing to produce buds at the end of it.  It has a lovely clean delicate perfume too, without the cloying qualities of some perfumes. Interesting seedpods as well.  As you can tell, I just love it. 8)
Cheers.

Min winter temp -8 or -9°C. Max summer temp 40°C. Thankfully, maybe once or twice a year only.
