I'm in Palmetto Bay, FL (basically a suburb of Miami, FL), and we have multiple butterfly gardens.

I am desperate to find Giant Milkweed. The nursery where I buy it can't get any, and we've all looked in multiple places. The plant is called "Calotropis gigantea." I know there's one nursery on here selling it, but they are located in Texas. Takes too long to grow from seedlings. My monarch caterpillars are defoliating the plants so quickly that I need plants with leaves on them!

NEED A SOURCE. PLEASE HELP!?

Thanks!
