I don’t have any experience with Golden Alexander’s but I am looking forward to seeing how well they grow and flower in my location, as well as being an alternative host plant for Eastern Black Swallowtails. I received beautiful healthy plants with excellent root growth, and will be purchasing from Joyful Butterfly again!
