There are no oxalis seeds offered by park seeds.

Tahir, I couldn't open even these two links, infact none from Parkseed. No worry; the order has been closed by Farhan,so this matter also stands closed.
Thank you nonetheless.

@Munir Sb.....are you interested in heliotrope?

[khabbab]

Just wanted to add my 2 cents. Butterfly bush seeds if it is buddleja davidii cultivar then it will not grow in lahore. I tried its seeds many times, it does not tolerate our summer heat. If it is butterfly weed, asclepias then tropical milkweed is very successful while A.tuberosa is an experiment.

And yes heliotrope i grew from seed in october is still live in a pot and healthy (not growing much due to heat). It flowered very well in spring and early summer, so it is a good bet.

[Farhan Ahmed]

Yup...its davidii. Can it be grown as annual?

[Farhan Ahmed]

I think its irrelevant....to try it as annual ...........Guys as per Khabbab's recommendation we should drop buddleja. Any objections or someone wants to attempt anyways?

[khabbab]

Buddleja seed is as thin and small as petunia. It does germinate easily but it does not get mature and summer arrives which is the problem. This plant i have seen wild in nathia gali and murree. But it can be tried in islamabad which is cooler than lahore.

Try south african buddleja if some one is buddleja lover, which is salviifolia i think.

Asclepias are all closely related, my asclepias curassavica is growing perfectly... no drooping of foliage in intense heat nor burnt foliage, blooming profusely and is swarmed by bees and butterflies all the time, will definitely save its seed... and i hope other asclepias will also do good here.
