WANTED: Milkweed

macguy815

Hi, I'm trying to make a wildflower bed, and some common milkweed would wonderful. If anyone has seeds or a seedling I would like to trade. Also, I'm looking for lots of cone-flower seeds (the new bed is going to be a few hundred square feet) so let me know if you could do that as well.

Thanks

    I can get both milkweed and coneflower seeds for you if you are interested. It may be a few weeks as both are just starting to fade now and setting seed. Let me know if you are interested.
