Foxglove Tree Seeds & Perry's Baby Red Water Lily Seeds


I have 5 packs of Foxglove Tree Seeds that I received as bonus packs from a Ebay purchase and 1 pack of Perry's Baby Red Water Lily seeds. Anybody that's interested please pm me. Not necessarily looking to trade just want to pass them on to whoever might be intersted.

The water lily seeds and a pack of the Foxglove seeds have been taken but there's still 4 packs of the Foxglove tree if anyone's interested.

"Foxglove Tree" is one of the common names for Paulownia tomentosa:

You'll need to give it lots of space to grow in.

Do you have any Foxglove tree seeds left? If so, I'd love to have a pack. Want to trade on something?

Deb they're yours and I'll pm you. And that is the last pack. I'm liable to get more since I ordered other seeds from this seller and he likes to put a pack in as a bonus. These can be invasive guys so take care with them but they are very beautiful trees. I'm including info along with them. I'm into planting natives or I'd grow them. If I remember correctly there's supposed to be some growing down at Longwood Gardens in Pa that are spectacular. Just not for me.

The wood of the pavlonia tree has a curious characteristic. Its wood is sought after in Japan because the wood expands and contracts the same accross the grain as along its grain, or very little if at all. Usually wood will shrink and expand accross the grain but remain stable up and down the grain. This causes headaches in furniture design when one runs wood at right angles. The japanese like to make containers out of this wood because they can make it very tight. It looks a bit like ash, only nicer.

They are beautiful but I'm into planting natives so not my pick. When we drive down to Philiadelphia you can see them blooming along the roadway and they are eyecatching. We have alot of property but I'm not interested in growing them.

They are all taken but I have 2 more orders coming in from this seller so I'll let you know if they send any bonus of those seeds.
