I planted butterfly milkweed weed seeds in the spring of 2010 and in the fall of 2011 the plants are still just a couple inches tall....boooooooooooooooooooo

I think next year they will take off but it's not fun waiting two full seasons for something to start growing.

Here is a 2.99 sale for plants. Wish I would have done this a couple years ago...

I'm not sure if swamp or sullivant's grow any faster, but they are on sale too. Happy Gardening, Tony
