You know you should all be cultivating milkw**d, right? Milkw**d is essential for monarch butterflies. The Western Monarch population has declined dramatically over the past few years, by more than 90%.
Getting a milkw**d plant started can be challenging, but once they have established their tap root, they take off like the w**d that they are and come back year after year.
You should focus your efforts on our native species, which are narrowleaf milkw**d (Asclepias fascicularis) and showy milkw**d (Asclepias speciosa). I have 200 pots of showy milkw**d growing in my greenhouse. The other pictures are mature narrowleaf milkw**d plants growing in my garden.
If you want to be on the list for showy milkw**d plants, please message me.
