Virginia SnakerootAristolochia serpentaria *Available Now*

Dear Butterfliers!
I just got word from a fellow in Nebraska about 100 mature plants of the Virginia Snakeroot!!
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/56483/
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.

Yes, I have purchased from Rod in past years too and he is a very reliable source.

He stocks many other hard to find butterfly plants, too and he'll e-mail you his inventory list if you ask.

He's a good guy for butterfliers to know about! Thanks for the tip, Debnes.

Thanks for the confirmation tabasco!

If people take advantage of this i believe they will be very happy with the results.

:~)

Debnes,

Does he have an email address or are we required to call him? Thanks for posting this information.

I have some of that and it has survived in Texas. Stays fairly small, however.

Thanks for responding Linda!
