Nothing off this one is listed at the moment. It's growing in the yard and gets cut when it's ready.

Tell me when it’s cut

When a cutting off Frankie is listed, I’ll email you to say so (if you are not signed in, after you have opened the link I send first). I only have one of most things, so it is first come — nothing is held.

Email me when this is available. I understand this notice is about the plant I asked about, that I can opt out from any message, and that my address is not shared with anyone.

You'll get emails from the yard. Unsubscribe any time.
