I have had a butterfly weed in my garden for several years now like maybe four years and have never gotten seeds from it and have no idea what it is but I love the flowers and foliage on it and I’m hoping someone on here can tell me which one it is so I can find some more seeds somewhere. The butterfly weed has sort of a dark purple red bloom maybe a pinkish dark purple red lol Hard to explain, the leaves have a dark green leaf and it’s pretty thick with red veins going thru it, would anybody know which one this is? I have no pictures maybe this summer but by the description I was hoping to get an idea so I could find some seeds to try and see if I could get more plants of this for this year, my plant doesn’t get big like the other ones either this may be because where it’s growing it doesn’t get fed or watered much but from what I’ve seen of the other plants they don’t really need that much and it’s shorter never gets to 3’ high only about 2’, can anyone help please? I could take some cuttings off of it but there really isn’t much to that plant and not long after it reaches full height the cats are on it and I hate to take away from them :)
A long time ago someone sent me some purple butterfly weed could it possibly be that one, I’ve never seen seeds to this one on here since to try them again, one of these days I’ll learn to label my plants but with butterfly weed you wouldn’t think you would have to lol
I just know one of you experts out there will know which one I have 8^) Help?
