Some of my milkweed made it through the winter. We did have a hard freeze a few weeks ago and that set a lot of it back, but new growth is emerging.

I was shocked to find a caterpilllar near pupating stage the day after the 26 degree low. Even though the tops of the milkweed patch he was on had been fried from the freeze he still had adequate growth below to finish his larvae stage.
