rare milkweeds

16 years ago

I'm looking for the rarer milkweeds species - I know I have some listed in my list but they are stock plants and have not produced any seeds yet - I would like to grow some over the winter season - I do not need incarnata (tropical), orange butterfly weed or common(syricas) I have some different things for trade so let me know if you are interested

cheers

Thanks for bringing up an important topic. I don't have a link handy with more info, but you may be able to Google the topic if you'd like to learn more. But, it's important to use milkweed from sources local to you. Even if it's the same species. So, even if we shipped our seed or plants, it may not be the best for your area.

I'm looking for some rare milkweeds too. The ones I want are lanuginosa, longifolia, quadrifolia, and amplexicaulis. I want meadii too, but impossible to find. Which milkweeds are you looking for, and which ones are you growing? Where are you located.

Hello everyone.

Right now I'm putting together a website to sell milkweed seeds and plants. I was wondering if any of you would be willing to post a few pics of your seeds and plants, so I could use them on my website? pls post clear photos with good lighting. thanks
