Hi,

I grew it a few years ago and loved it. I can't remember where I got it but at the time, was buying from Germania, Johnny's Selected Seeds, Fedco, Richters, and Parks--one of those companies carried it.

Best,

Miranda Smith

Does anyone know a source for Asclepias 'Silky Yellow'? It's an
annual that I saw at the redesigned Ball Gardens in 2005 but haven't
seen on the market. It's not a Ball Seed introduction. It has
incredible appeal for butterflies, says Jim Nau, the trials manager
at Ball. It would be an excellent companion plant for Salvia 'Mystic
Spires', which is a Ball plant and very similar to 'Indigo Spires'
but smaller.
I found Asclepias 'Silky Gold' at San Marcos Growers in California,
but no 'Silky Yellow'. Any leads?
