Default Milkweed

I'm wondering if any Monarch butterfly friends have any milkweed they could spare. PM me if you do. Thanks.

I checked at the nursery on 301 and they do not have any.

We bought ours this spring at Home Depot. All of them are thriving.

Did you want cuttings to feed caterpillars? I could help with that, but my plants are not yet big enough to divide.

mine just don't do well here.
They are sparse and splindly and there's not enough leaves to feed any caterpillars, if there were any!
