try http://www.nearlynativenursery.com Call him , if he doesnt have it, which he usually does he can tell you where to find it.

I forgot one. Ga perimeter college has plant sales every Wed and Sat till end of May. Phone number is 678-891-2668 Hours: 10:00am - 2:00pm

I don't usually go to nurseries but I know other people have had a hard time finding it. I have a small seedling that I got in a trade last year (a garden web trade!). It is still in a pot and about 3 inches tall.

I saw some in Pikes (Roswell location) the other day.

Thanks everyone. Nearly Native is out and the Butterly Weed currently at Pikes is an annual. The Monarch's will have to wait.

I do have some seed going but it takes 2 years for it to reach maturity.

I'm hesitant to buy any online......we'll see.

Thanks again.

If Pikes is selling Asclepias curassavica then I would suggest you consider it anyway. Small plants can be overwintered and seeds often sprout from the soil (so it might be consider a reseeding annual). Monarchs really do munch on that one quite a bit, I have seen them prefer it to A. tuberosa.

Olive Forge Herb Garden in Haddock, GA (next to Milledgeville - middle GA) has butterfly weed. They have quite a few natives and many herbs. Also an herb shop. Tell them Cindy said "Hi" if you go.

A.Tuberosa-Hands down one of my most favored babies, started from seed, some 10 or more years ago. I have many generations I have moved, sheltered, nursed, and babied. I even brought about 1/2 dozen from IL last year, teeny, tiny babies last year, ready to bloom this year, I will be watching for more. Be patient with what you have, but I would be willing to let you adopt one, though risky at this point in the season. It doesn't take long for them to put down the deep tap roots. I usually move them when they are just an inch or two, but did successfully move the original Mother when we had to repair a foundation crack, in very early Spring, w/just a bud of new growth on the crown. The tap root was over 1 1/2', I believe the severed root, grew anew, or just new generations, in the same spot. I just got some different ones at the last plant sale. I think the first will always be my favorite, thus the start of my love for orange flowers. A plant any Mother could love. Yes, I am waxing mushy over a plant, too many hours on this yard project, and not enough sleep.
