I will keep working, though, because I once saw those monarchs hanging in clusters on patches of common milkweed on the BlueRidge Parkway and I fell in love.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11356803079520040593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31716379.post-36816485505437098472013-07-03T08:19:50.378-05:002013-07-03T08:19:50.378-05:00Timely post.

I wish they would offer more of the milkweeds for gardening.

My A. speciosa is going like gangbusters.

I had collected some antelope horn from a field in Fort Worth and have tried sowing the seeds multiple times...now I know. <br /><br />In Florida I grew curassavica and it spread readily by seed without me doing anything. It was quite common to grow it and other species around Florida.<br /><br />Currently I'm growing the yellow version of tuberosa but I'm all about diversifying.
