I grow the yellow flowering curassavica in my garden though I have no idea what the variety is. If you can wait until summer, they seed prolifically and I'd be happy to send seed to whomever wants some.

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?

I found a mention of 'Silky Yellow' at the Fine Gardening web site.
Perhaps the author may be able to identify for you the source of her
planting.
