Comments (10)I looked up Cynanchum in California. It looks like there is (Cynanchum utahense or Funastrum utahense) is native to the southern counties / Mojave desert. It has yellow flowers apparently. I totally forgot about vines of the Funastrum genus, sometimes called Sarcostemma genus. They are mostly in the deserts. Two are (Funastrum cynanchoides) and (Funastrum hirtellum). I also found that (Matelea parvifolia) is native to the southern counties. I've found that milkweed vines are not usually sold commercially or the seed for them. Sometimes native plants growers will offer them. Thats how I found seed for (Matelea decipiens) and live vines for (Matelea carolinensis). Unfortunately both of the vines of (Matelea decipiens) I grew this year got eaten bare by a Monarch caterpillar, one did not recover. > I will send a private email. Sounds good, I will watch for it....See MoreDo you grow any Milkweed vines?
