Excited to see these grow
Bare roots arrived in good condition. A few already had some shoots. I planted them as soon as they arrived, and I think they will be a great addition to our butterfly garden. My only complaint is that I received 4 roots, instead of 5.
What A Variety!
I planted two orders, in several beds. Several different colors. I was expecting just butterfly weed, but I got several swamp milkweed, too. They got very tall & I may have to move them next year. I had my best crop of monarch caterpillars (several batches, all summer long). Very pleased!
Butterfly weeds
They popping out nicely. Too early to tell more.
Color mix to fill the gaps
I am looking for bright flowers to fill in the season and the gaps between other bloomers

Can I plant aclepias bare roots now?
- Asked by Walt

Preparing for winter. Plants have cone on the ends. Are these seed packs? Do I leave them on or what?
