Got something to discuss?
Hi there
I have been looking at the photo provided of Asclepias linaria : Pine Needle and the leaf is thicker than the linaria I have seen. Can you assure me of their type please and just to let you know the seeds were under quantity….not by much.
I will carefully grow and let you know if actually Pine Needle Asclepias.
Thank you
Glenyss
Hi Glenyss,
Sorry that I’ve only just seen your message: I don’t appear to have received an alert that you had commented on. I’m sorry about the under quantity seeds: I always double-check my seed packets, but this one must have escaped me. I have sent you an additional pack your way.
Regarding the classification, I have since reclassified it as more likely to be Gomphocarpus physocarpus. Thank you for the heads up.
Kind regards,
Cultivate
Hi I live in Littlehampton SA near Mt Barker
When is the best season to plant cape milkweed seeds please?
Hi Daisy
Gomphocarpus cancellatus or cape milkweed can be grown all year round. May 2024 the pods will develop and seeds will form in a few months. Plant outside and no special requirements needed. Stratifying or smoking. Put pots in a lidded plastic tub to keep warm especially in the Hills. I use compost or mix of SRM & coir with a base of organic mulch/leaves….put seeds on top press down and cover lightly with vermiculite. Keep moist…can be transplanted in most soils within a sunny spot. Hardy long living plant with beautiful pinkish purplish whiteish flower. Floss can be kept once seeds are ready…the floss can be used in a number of ways eg soap or paper making HAPPY GARDENING
Do you know when you will be restocking your milk weed seeds? Thanks
Hi Vanessa,
Thank you for reaching out.
We’ve done a big restock of our store this weekend. You should be able to order them now 🙂
Hi there can you tell me when this will be back in stock pls?
When milkweed seeds back in stock
My Milkweed plants stripped bare
Any hints to grow back fast
Sadie there is no quick remedy…just need to grow more milkweed. I recommend you grow the Strangler Vine..fast growing and large leaves. Cut back to feed your caterpillars. They have massive avocardo sized pods which is great for craft. Hope you find this helpful. MM4Seeds
Is this Tall Thin Swan Milkweed and if it has swan shaped pods it’s Gomphocarpus fruticosus and not physocarpa/us which is also Tall Thin Round Shaped pods or Balloon Plant Hairy Balls. Fast growing but short life span. Hope this is helpful for customers looking for Milkweed varieties. MM4 Seeds Local
