We have two inch sprouts on some milkweed that we have in our outdoor classroom. It is not native to our area. We bought it from a local nursery at the end of the season last year. It has remained in its one gallon pot in the garden all winter. We noticed last week during an unusually warm spell that leaves were trying to emerge. They have finally opened, but we have brought the milkweed into our classroom because it is supposed to be in the 20s here tonight and near freezing for the next several nights. We didn't want to loose what we have - it's the only milkweed we've seen so far in our outdoor classroom.
