Of the butterfly milkweeds I planted last fall I've had two start to emerge, one is just greens above the ground but this one has some tuber poking out. I think I planted it fully buried, guess the dirt just settled this way? Anyway, is that a normal situation for the plant or should I come back and bury it a bit more?

I’ve got a few of these and never seen their tubers exposed like this, but if I did, , I would just cover it with like an inch or so of soil.
If you poke the black part, is it soft? That looks like bacterial infection or something along those lines.
I’ve got a couple A. tuberosas and I make sure the tuber is covered.
All concerns aside, it looks like an angry little bunny with green ears
