Matelea decipiens - Where can I get it?

17 years ago

A saw a note in the name-that-plant forum which had a link to photos of this plant. Apparently an Ozark plant of zone 6-7, it looks almost too neat to believe. Being an old Okie hillbilly from the Ozark foothills, I really would like to grow this. As a member of the milkweed family, it should be fairly easy from seed. Actually all the species of this genus look interesting and enticing.

Does anyone know where seed for it can be had? The only source I could find in a fast Google search had a 'sold-out' on it.

Thanks for all the comments. I put in a couple of hours of work here and there when I have time, so my projects sometimes move somewhat slow, but I enjoy every time i'm out there. Stan, that majesty is already showing a trunk! I've been fertilizing and watering it a little extra just to get it to grow more. I'm hoping we'll get lots of time before our next scheduled arctic freeze! haha. This next winter we're supposed to be feeling the effects of El Nino, which for us here in the valley means lower than average winter temps while being encased in thick fog, but at the same time less frost and freezing temps. For other areas like the foothills of the Sierra and the coast it means warmer than average winter temps.
