Need help finding milkweed host plant


I think I need a milkweed that is a kind called
Dregea volubilis. It is from Asia. Can you help me find seeds?

Karen says:
I am not familiar with that milkweed. I tried to look it up, but couldn't find much on it. What country are you from and are you trying to attract Monarch Butterflies?

Basic Question About Flower Nectar and Monarchs
by: cindy

The comment is I can't believe how much basic information I don't know!
I realize Monarchs are attracted to certain kinds of flowers for nectar but in general, do ALL flowers have nectar?

Karen says:
Most (some orchids don't produce nectar) flowers produce nectar but the amount of nectar varies quite a bit from flower to flower. Here are some nectar-rich butterfly flowers for your garden.

I can't promise anything BUT if you go to www.prairienursery.com and send an email or phone them you'll possibly find what you're looking for. They specialize in native plants. And If they don't have something,they will help you research and/or refer you.(at no cost).
Good luck.
