Dear Butterfliers!
I just got word from a fellow in Nebraska about 100 mature plants of the Virginia Snakeroot!!

It grows in a forest on his property. If some of you want to co-op to save postage it might be cool bc i think postage is only around $6 for up to 4 plants. I am getting 2 of them, and they are already on the way.

This is supposed to be an excellent choice for hosting Pipevine Swallowtails, and it loves the shade... May not make it in really hot climates unless it is almost entirely in the shade. He wanted to give butterfly gardeners first crack at them. ***Be sure to check if Pipvine Swallowtails are in your range before purchasing***

PLEASE tell him Debnes refered you so i can get more plants for the volunteer work i do!

This is the best time to sink them in the ground, so they can overcome transplanting and develop healthy roots for coming up next spring.

I hope some of you take advantage of this, because it is hard to find otherwise. Only one other source listed here on DG and that's in GA.
