I’ve been researching a piece for the SUMMER magazine about swan plant health. I get asked lots of questions and mostly I don’t know the answers. 🙂
Anyway, I was thinking it would probably be better for people in cooler areas of NZ to think about planting Asclepias varieties. We sell A. incarnata seed on our site and this has been popular with a few people, as it sets rhizomes and the plant just pops its head up above the soil every year when spring is here.
It is possible to import seeds… I would suggest that people work out which climatic zone they live in, in NZ
Then do more homework here:
These are the seeds that may be imported:
Asclepias cancellata, A. hallii, A. incarnata, A. pulchra, A. speciosa, A. syriaca. There are several recommended sellers which will show up when you google.
Then, here is an excellent publication put out by the Xerces Society.
