GARDENING GUIDESGreat Design Plant: Milkweed
Quit cringing. This not-weed plant is a sight to behold in the garden, has a delicious vanilla scent and is a magnet for butterflies
Full StoryI've got some A. physocarpa milkweed growing in containers in my garden. I've been potting them up to bigger pots regularly, but instead of repotting my last two, I've decided to go ahead and plant these out. I read up on it a little, and, from what I've read, this milkweed is very cold hardy, should have no problem coming back next spring. I'll be planting them in raised beds, so drainage shouldn't be a problem either.
Any advice about how to treat them once planted? They're all over 3' tall, some about 5' tall but thin. Will they fill out after planting? Will they grow much taller? Are they really as cold hardy as Dave's Garden says?
Any tips on this milkweed would be appreciated. So far, I LOVE it - the leaves still look good even in this heat! Thanks go to Mary in Arkansas for the seeds!
