Verbena bonariensis (purpletop) (Hatfield AL10)
Young plants mostly potted as little clumps of 2 or 3 in small pots. Highly recommended, these been my most popular giveaway on here in the past. The majority will have to end up on the compost heap, but how many can we save to enjoy their flowers? I expect most people will prefer potted up plants, but if you can handle a chunk of seedlings straight from the ground, say so - you may get more that way. Tell me if you're hoping for a particular number. Good in containers and quick to grow, these baby plants will establish quickly and flower for you this summer. Leave the flower heads next autumn and they will seed for you too if you're lucky. Verbena bonariensis is a beautiful hardy perennial with purple flowers on tall wiry stems over a long flowering season. Comes back from the base stronger every year and will self seed around if it's happy. Flowers beloved of bees and butterflies. Watch goldfinches try to balance on the seed heads next winter. It wants sharp drainage and full sun to be truly happy, but I have sticky clay and a fair amount of shade and it does fine.

Tradescantia/purpleheart houseplant (Hatfield AL10)
One for the inside gardeners. Tradescantia has other names including "purple hearts" (probably because of the pretty purple back to the leaves) and "wandering dude" because it grows on long trailing stems. They are perennial houseplants, very easy to grow and root very easily from cuttings. They have interesting variegated leaves, almost sparkly in the sun and contrasting purple backs. I think they cope quite well with relatively low light and for me they don't get any pests. Theses individual plants are from stems rooted in compost earlier this spring. People grow them as houseplants. You could probably put them outside in the summer, but they would definitely not survive the winter, so you would take them back inside in autumn. Or just keep them inside all year round. I also have a few copies of a cute tiny-leaved version, which if anything is even easier to propagate. Similar pretty backs to the leaves. (Not as many to spare and no photo, sorry.) I may limit to one (each) per person if there is demand, but honestly you don't need more than one - if you want more, just chop off a bit and put it in a jar of water.

9 Grey's Anatomy cards (Wealdstone HA3)
These were inside a box set of the first series of Grey's Anatomy. I am only interested in the DVDs and don't need the packaging including these cards so I thought that I would list them in case anyone wants them before they go into the recycling bin. They are a set of 9 cards, each of which is 18cm x 12cm and as can be seen from the photos are of the main characters with some "biographies" on the back. Please don't ask daft questions if you reply - just let me know when you could pick them up from HA3 7PJ.
