All of my perennial milkweed is breaking ground. I have a large tub planted with common milkweed and the tallest shoots already have three sets of leaves. The other varieties began breaking through about 2 weeks ago but with this latest cold front, they haven't done much growing. I've planted lots of tropical milkweed for this season and all has germinated. I also overwintered some potted plants of tropical MW in the greenhouse. They are putting on blooms now and beginning to grow new leaves. They will be outside for the monarchs migrating north this spring. I think I saw a distant Monarch while driving recently but have yet to see one here on our property this spring.
