Seed Swap is a community for sharing seeds between gardeners! Please be responsible and kind when swapping.

Welcome! This is a place to swap seeds with fellow Redditors. Simple rules:

Post a new thread stating what you have to swap (or give away!)

Post a comment in a thread if you're interested in what the OP has, with a list of your offerings. OP should reply in thread and then PM commenters to seal the deal.

If your thread fails to appear, please message the moderators, as the spam queue tends to be over eager on occasion.

Policy on "illegal" seeds: to avoid exposing our users to law enforcement, we will actively remove posts advertising currently illegal seeds, such as cannabis. If it is legal in your country or state to trade these seeds, please post in local forums rather than here.

ISO Hellebore Seeds

Looking to purchase some seeds from a real live human being. Unfortunately I have tried purchasing hellebore seeds from SIX different sellers with supposed credible websites. All 6 attempts were sad mislabeled seeds. Heck, one order sent me Squash seeds instead of hellebore. So please if anyone has any leads I would greatly appreciate it!!! Much love to you all!

Yacon and amazing winter squash

I have African squash, which is from DRC. It is a butternut type that can handle the heat and is very sweet and stores for more than a year. I also have Yacon corms I can send you.

Flower seeds needed for LA fire victims, especially native varieties.

A few who lost houses in the LA fires are looking for flower seeds, especially native varieties. Eaton Fire was 3 miles close to us and quite a few friends lost houses or are displaced. Vegetable gardening is not recommended for now.

This is the stop gap arrangement until they get permissions and clearance for the next steps.

I have been trying to help with what I have and sourcing. I’ll also post this separately.

If you have excess please let me know.

Spring cleaning my seed stash

I’ve got copious amounts of native seeds I collected this fall AND I’ve got seed packets for plants I’m phasing out. I’m going hard on native gardening lately and am willing to rehome some nonnative seeds to responsible gardeners in the US. All seeds are 3 or less years old and should be plenty viable.

!Big Leaf Lupine must not be planted in any area where Sundial Lupine is native!

Central/eastern US Natives

Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) Yellow Prairie Coneflower (Ratibida columnifera) Foxglove Beardtongue (Penstemon digitalis) Frost Aster (Symphyotrichum pilosum) White Blazing Star (Liatris spicata) Goldenrod (Solidago [probably] canadensis) Canada Wild Rye (Elymus canadensis) Mixed Bee Balm (Monarda fistulosa/didyma) Figwort (Scrophularia marilandica) Selfheal (Prunella vulgaris) Tall Thimbleweed (Anemone virginiana)

Western US Natives

Big Leaf Lupine Colorado Columbine

Non-natives

Pink Sedum Zinnia (mixed colors) Marigolds (mixed colors) White/Purple Baloon Flower Pink/Purple Petunia Shasta Daisy Alyssum Snapdragon Banana Peppers Luffa Decorative small squashes (striped/bumpy mix) Decorative Corn (multicolor)

Best website to buy flower seeds

I'm not looking for vegetable seeds. I'm just looking to see where to buy common and unusual flower seeds. I know that most seed selling sites will include vegetables so that's okay. 😊Thank you for any help that you can give me!🩷

First 2025 swap!

First seed swap and so excited for this community. Located in 7a. I have:

Herb - Tulsi Basil/Holy Basil - Tulsi makes a delicious tea and simple syrup. It’s prolific. I couldn’t keep up with it all summer.

Flower - Toothache/Buzz Button - my favorite flower to grow. It’s grows like a weed and has a wild looking flower. Great low growing flower for garden edges and adds a unique pop. The flowers are also edible and used a lot for cocktails since the flower makes your mouth go numb for about 5-10 min.

Vegetable - Jalapeño

Greens - Arugula/Rocket

Herb - Salad Burnet - this herb has to be used as soon as its cut or its gets a bitter taste but is amazing in sauces/salad dressings/garnish. It’s has a super strong fresh cucumber flavor. Easy grower.

Herb - Shisho/Perilla - grows similar to Basil and was amazing this past summer. It’s used a lot in Asian dishes and HIGHLY recommend marinating/pickling in soy sauce and adding to stir frys and rice bowls.

Herb - Dill

Vegetable - Purple Top Turnips

I’m not sure if we can trade bareroot/Shrubs/bulbs/spores here but can remove if necessary:

Want:

Flower - Cleome/Spiderplant

Flower - Lisianthus - Balboa Blue Rim

Flower - Lisianthus - Megalo

Flower- Hellebores - particularly Wedding Party varieties

Flower - Dahlia - any type

Flower - fritillaries melagris

Flower - Red Clover

Flower - Rosella

Vegetable - Napa Cabbage

Vegetable - Radish

Vegetable - Carrots

Vegetable - Asparagus

Vegetable - Snow Peas

Vegetable - Snap Peas

Greens- Komatsuna/ Mustard Tender Green

Rose - Eden Climber

Rose - Alchymist

Rose - Gertrude Jeckyll

Shrub - Sechuan pepper plant

Mycelium - Mushroom Spores - any type

DM me! - Happy Gardening!
