Nic1. Common Milkweed - Asclepias syriaca is not a common garden plant, but it is often grown in the large gardens open to the public. Do you have such gardens in your area, like Leonardslee Gardens near Horsham for example?

If you manage to find one growing Milkweed, you could have a permanent supply. May be worth ringing round a few such places. A web search should find them.

Alternatively try going direct to a nursery and buy a plant or two. Heres a couple of Nurseries not too far away that sell Asclepias.
