I'd like to grow Crown Flower (aka pua kalaunu, aka Calotropus) for monarch butterflies to eat. They munch my tropical milkweed to sticks every few months, would like to give them variety.
Does anyone know where I can get cuttings or starts?
thanks!

on a site about raising Monarch butterflies in Hawaii, the author said "every house in Hawaii has crown flower."
But I can't find any at all!

My husband goes out that way, would probably be willing to meet you somewhere. I wouldn't ask him to steal some from your neighbor's yard, though...
