I urgently need milkweed leaves

Yesterday I found 6 late season Monarch caterpillars clinging to what's left of my milkweeds. I keep 16 plants because I typically raise 20-40 of them each year.


I don't know if I have enough leaves to raise these guys to pupa stage. Does anyone between Jacksonville and St. Augustine have these plants? I would just need to pinch off some stems with leaves. Nurseries are out of them and even if some had the plants there would be no guarantee they weren't sprayed.


Assuming these guys make it we plan to drive them to Orlando for release because by the time they are butterflies our temps here will be too cold.


Thanks to anyone who can help.
