Do you have the milkweed plants and the catipillers now or is it too early? I was hoping to come down tomorrow morning. Thank you,
Hi Cindy,
It’s early but I have found a few and am starting a caterpillar waiting list. Plants are ready, just waiting on the Monarchs 🙂 Would you like me to add you to the list? How many would you like and what days are good for picking up? Cindy

Can you mail a common milkweed potted plant to Tennessee? I have a potted milkweed plant that I have kept inside for several weeks because I wanted to use it as a house plant. Low and behold a caterpillar has appeared on it.My plant dosen’t look that healthy (not many leaves). What should I do? I have never done this.Help
Hi Georgia,
First, congratulations on your baby caterpillar. The do appear unexpectedly. I’m sorry this is causing you stress.
I don’t ship plant and the plants I am selling are seedlings and wouldn’t provide much food. A couple suggestions though for getting your hands on milkweed, see if anyone in your neighborhood or nearby has milkweed. They could “adopt” the caterpillar or give you leaves to feed until it pupates. Or if you’ve ever seen any Common milkweed growing along the roadside or hiking trails you can take a leaf as needed. Many plant nurseries sell milkweed as do Home Depot and Lowe’s, just make sure to ask if they are sprayed with anything that would hurt the caterpillar. There’s even a company that mails out milkweed leaves called Milkweed Hotline. You are going to be a great caterpillar Mom. I wish you all the best on your milkweed search. Cindy
Looking for the Redring milkweed seeds.Hard to find anywhere in the country.we live in southwest Florida, and with the other types of milkweed plants we grow there are lots of butterflies around are place.
Hi Jim,
You are right, the Redring are a harder seed to find. I have a patch growing but I still don’t know how many flowers I’ll get this year or if they will be pollinated. My suggestion is to sign up for “In Stock” alerts and when I have them ready for sale you will get an email. Here’s the Redring listing. https://www.milkweed4monarchs.org/product/25-redring-milkweed-seeds-asclepias-variegata/ Thank you for helping the Monarchs. Cindy
