A Fun Discovery in the Butterfly Garden!

Took a close look at things in the Butterfly Garden yesterday, and found seed pods on the butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa - Gay Butterflies)!

  1. My two butterfly weed plants have pods, too, though the blooms are spent. Do you think they might spread through the seeds? The one I had years ago never did before getting swallowed by an evergreen shrub. ~sigh~ That would be awesome if they did send out volunteers. Happy Gardening!

      None of the milkweed seeds I've planted before ever even germinated. It says they're easy, but not that I can see!

      I just planted my plant last year, so it didn't have pods before. That's why I was so thrilled.
