I had quite a bit of the BFW survive the winter as it was so mild here; maybe parts of 6 - 7 plants. They are spindly but they are there with leaves and flowers. I bought 10 one-gallon pots 2 weeks ago that I haven't had time to plant yet. They are full of green leaves and flowers.
I only get the butterfly weed that is most preferred by monarchs. I don't remember the name. It is a mostly orange looking bloom with a red-orange color, also, and a little bit of yellow. I am so fascinated by how they create their chrysalis under their skin and then evolve into butterflies from their cocoon!!!
