I was hoping someone would respond to my request too...heck, I'm even willing to trade a nice amaryllis bulb for some seeds!!

Kristi,
You're in Texas. That is about the last place you should be planting tropical milkweed. The state already has monarchs that have stopped migrating because of tropical milkweed. Don't add more fuel to the fire.

I have some asclepias incarnata (swamp milkweed) seedlings that I can spare. No seeds, though.

I had just asked for milkweed...not specifically tropical. Just getting in a second plug for my request as it drifts down the list with one response that wasn't an offer of seeds...

PS Tony, I do cut my small, nonblooming milkweed down every winter and tell them to move along....

Rodney & K, I have seeds of several different milkweeds...this year I only have newly harvested tropical seeds but I also have some seeds of A. viridis (Native Green) & A. asperula (Native Antelope Horns) from 2012 that I collected in my area. I may have some old Common seeds someone sent me left...I started seeds this summer from old seeds I had had for at least 3-4 years that I had cold stratified but never planted...almost all sprouted.
You are welcome to send me a self addressed stamped bubble envelope for seeds. Just let me know if you are interested?
Both the natives need to be put out now (or cold stratified)so they will germinate but the tropical shouldn't be started until spring.

I will have tons of tropical milkweed seeds. I will post here once I collect them.

Also does anyone know if "ice ballet" swamp milkweeds are true to seed?
