I will harvest some of this seed for those who are interested around the middle of Sept. Will send 15 to 20 seeds.

The following USDA site shows the large areas of the country where it is native:

This site gives protocal for germination:

Remember we probably get temperatures below freezing for up to 4 months each winter, so give it a good chilling as described in the protocal site.

I'll do this for postage or for fresh seeds of a plant I might use as a host or food plant for butterflies in Iowa. Please include germination directions for traded seeds. Offer good to the first 10 people who respond.

So let me know if you are interested.

Edited to say just send me your add. in a personal dmail; then after you receive seeds you can return seed or postage.
