My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

WANTED: Milkweed seeds Ohio Natives

7 years ago
last modified: 7 years ago

Wanted: Ohio Native Milkweed seeds:

Asclepias amplexicaulis blunt-leaved milkweed or clasping milkweed

Asclepias exaltata Poke Milkweed

Asclepias longifolia longleaf milkweed

Asclepias speciosa Showy Milkweed

Asclepias sullivantii Prairie Milkweed

Asclepias tuberosa Butterfly Weed

Asclepias variegate redring milkweed or white milkweed

Asclepias verticillata Whorled Milkweed

Asclepias viridiflora Short Green Milkweed

Asclepias viridis Asclepias viridis Spider Milkweed

I gave away 300 (275 Swamp & 25 Common) Milkweed seedlings to the public in hopes of planting a Milkweed pathway from Ohio to Texas to help save our wonderful endangered Monarch Butterfly. Through raising Monarch caterpillars, I find they prefer Swam over Common Milkweed. I'm looking for Ohio zone 5 native Milkweeds for 2019 planting in my own garden. Summer 2019 Project: 1000 Swamp Milkweed seedlings to the public.
