A couple of years ago I had a volunteer milkweed come up. I'm I haven't seen any monarchs but the other pollinators love them. They smell so good.
I'm fighting mint and Canada Thistle in this patch, but the milkweed gives me a tiny bit of hope.

I’ve had enormous success with showy milkweed seed this year. I can’t wait to see it bloom next year.
I won’t get monarchs because I’m in the wrong part of the world but I hope to see larvae of other species using them.
Wow! Very nice. It’s hard to get the seeds to start here in Texas. We’ve got a good native cultivar…but sprouting and transplanting is challenging.
