We have Asclepias incarnata up with four leaves in the backyard, the first sprout of A. syriaca was up over an inch today. These are returning from plants that were started from seeds last year. Without a freeze this year here along the Texas mid-coast, A. curassavica has never stopped growing, but since cutting some of the plants to the ground in January, those in
particular have much new growth. The two main native milkweeds for Monarchs in the area, Asclepias viridis and asperula, should also be sprouting over the next two weeks.
