Farmers and milk weed

[Collector]

Where can you purchase the proper milkseeds to start a patch. What type exactly are needed?

The problem I have setting one up here is that, for every Monarch/Queen caterpillar I get here, I get DOZENS of Milkweed Moth Caterpillars, which I am allergic to.

i searched for common milkweed seeds

these folks say they will send you seeds for free if you send them a stamped, self addressed envelope. since it is early yet you may want to ask them first if they still have any left:

if you can't find any and i can get some from local plants this year i'll send some to anyone who wants them. i also grow the orange A. tuberosa (butterfly weed) which the monarchs will feed on.

Can I buy some off you? I'd love to attract some monarchs for my garden.

NO..... I’ll will walk creek to see if I can find some seed not scattered yet. If I find any, I’ll PM you for address and mail to you.

I want some too please. From anybody.

So...they are invasive?

Oh yes! Does anyone have milkweed seeds to share? The pink kind?
