Hi, I have A. currasavica 'Silky Deep Red' collected 2 weeks ago and is dry & ready to go. I would love some Ammi majus, even if only a little. Mine grew to 5' this year and a single plant had six Monarch crhysalis' on it, two of which we hatched indoors for my 2yo son to enjoy. Supposedly hardy to z7; I bring mine in and it does fine dormant in a pot til Spring. It is one of my favorite plants, even without the bonus of the Monarchs! Unfortunately GW won't let me post a photo of the cultivar I have, but its easy enough to google 'Silky Deep Red' if you are interested.

Awesome! Would love as many as you can spare. Here is my current seed list SEEDLIST 2016 *Woodland seed is moist packed and chilled...

Depends on how big your garden is and its purpose. IMO it isn't very decorative, and it might be worth growing in a garden where you have a sunny spot that's mostly out of sight or a wildflower meadow or if you have a butterfly bed that isn't specifically for decoration. There are milkweeds that provide food for monarchs that are more decorative IMO as RyseRyse mentioned, like butterfly weed, Asclepias tuberosa. In the link below, there are some nice photos from Mulchmama and Terrene of butterfly weed. In addition to the regular orange and the yellow selections in their photos, there are also some deeper red (on the orange side of red) selections. If you want a more decorative milkweed in the pink to white range, check out Asclepias incarnata, swamp milkweed, which doesn't need to be in a swamp, but does need consistent moisture. It has a somewhat more delicate aspect than A. speciosa and can get somewhat taller. Here is a link that might be useful: milkweed discussion

Hi Mary, Hope this finds you doing well and that you had a very good growing season. These seeds did really well. They have been in flower for the past three months. I've never had a milkweed bloom so much. The first batch never did germinate. I have had tons of insect visits during this time but only two small pods that have not really developed much. I had three Monarch caterpillars on the plants and they pretty much stripped(ate) most of the foliage but the plants put out more leaves after the caterpillars molted.. I still have them in a 12" pot but will probably divide them once they stop flowering and plant them in the garden. I was wondering how your seed production has been this year? I would like to get a bunch of seed from somewhere to grow and distribute to all the folks here in my area who are into this like you and I. Any chance you might have some to share again or know someone who does and/or somewhere I can purchase some. Thanks for any help. Regards, Mark
