Someone on the forum replied to one of my posts advising me to cut it down in the winter to urge the monarchs to move along south. I live in the Gulf Coast region near Houston.

Thoughts? Your title is misleading. It is tropical milkweed that is the problem, not "garden" milkweed, whatever that is. My other thought is I already posted the article earlier today in a tropical milkweed thread. The issues have been argued already in the thread. The new article is research that backs up one side.

I meant garden milkweed as opposed to wild milkweed. No need to be rude.

I'll look up the other thread. Just wanted to share and learn.

I thought you were being rude for doing a quicky posting without bothering to see what might have already been posted here.

Besides a few varieties of swamp and tropical, all milkweed is wild milkweed. US native versus non-native is where the debate is and the debate focuses on tropical milkweed because it is the only non-native Asclepias that has been shown to cause problems, so far.
