If you can help me out sure would appreciate it.. Thanks Carol

Mary, First,this particular species is endangered in Illinois and Maryland. Since you are in AR I can safely assume you did not find it in the wild in either of these states. LOL Second, here is some information on the species. Zone 6-8 Mature Height is 6-10 feet. Mature spread is 3-6 feet. Blooms May-June. Plant in full sun to part shade. Water requirement: Medium Maintenance requirement is Medium (I assume you may need to trim it back on occasion) I hope this helps!

Carol, Have you tried at the Native Plant Forum? Also, you might try googling some of the different states' Native Plant Societies and see if anyone there knows of a source. Finally, google and find Wild Things Nursery. Marilyn may not have these plants or seeds, but might know where you could find them. Dawn

I hope you found the plants you where looking for. However, Monarch caterpillars apparently feed exclusively on species of Asclepias. Some sources claim that Asclepias curassavica is their favorite food source. Asclepias includes the native milkweed (A. syriaca) but none of the species I am familiar with are vines.
