I have been offered some Monarch larvae and have been trying to find somewhere that can supply the Milkweed as foodplant. Does anyone have any knowledge of where I might be able to buy some from? I don't think that the larvae will eat anything else unfortunately!
Thanks
Milkweed
Re: Milkweed
If anyone is breeding Monarchs this summer the foodplant i use is Asclepias curassavica.It is a tropical plant,easy from seed from now on started in a little heat.Chiltern seeds have it listed as A c Red butterfly ive grown this its much the same!.The larvae love it.Save some seed for next year.It is possible to overwinter stock plants as long as they are kept above 5c.
..How did yours do last year george?.
