Free Plants by pre-arrangement with Mrs. John (Mary) Tinkler. Call and come prepared to dig. Oregon Grapes - not a grape at all, but a holly type bush with blue berries, which are much loved by jays and cedar waxwings. Nandina - goes to seed, seed becomes plant. Plant has many heavy red berries that are wonderful for holiday decorating. Forsythia - If you want it, you can have it all. It is certainly a vigorous plant, but in the wrong place. I don't have a "right" place for it. Flowering Quince - This plant adores my yard, but it has overproduced babies! Beautiful in early spring outside, and easy to force flowers Daylilies - When I first came to Chattanooga bearing a few transplants, I met Dr. Butts of the UTC biology department. I was the grateful recipient of his largess. Other friends have shared their daylilies with me. God knows why, but I have also bought some. I have not dug them up for about 10 years. I need to share them. I have nearly every color: red, pink, gold, gold w/red throats, yellow, etc. Hosta - my newest love is the hosta plant. I will not give many of those away, but I will share a few of them. Currently I am growing hosta from seed, but I am trying to re-do a corner of my yard with hostas and hosta do not come true from seed. Iris - Most must go. I do not have enough sun to make irises happy. Lirope - Both the common and variegated monkey grass are quite happy at my house. Please do not buy any when you can see me and get all you want of the plain and some of the variegated free. It actively hurts me to see people buying this! Ground Covers - vinca, ivy, sedum, lirope Virgin's Bower - AKA Sweet Autumn Clematis - I got this from Mrs. Irving Grote in the old days of the UTC Women's Club when I belonged to the Shakespeare Garden Group. Small white flowers cover the vine in late summer. Plant roots in shade, but allow sun for bloom. When the sun is shining the flowers smell lemony. Jerusalem artichokes - tall sunflower like blooms. Looks good in a Monet garden with larkspur and poppies. An added bonus is that they are edible. Lunaria - AKA Money Plant - a biennial. Ugly leaves, but very nice blooms and wonderful seed pods that are excellent for arrangements. These do not seem capable of being transplantable, but throwing seeds on a neglected portion of your yard will give you lots of plants! All this is by appointment only, please contact me, Mary Tinkler (formerly of the UTC Athletics Department) at 267-2512.
