I have a very small butterfly garden with year round eggs, caterpillars and adults. A couple of weeks ago, after our freeze warning, I was happy to spot 3 caterpillars and 2 adults on 1 milkweed.

I use red Tropical Milkweed. Asclepias curassavica.
Milkweed is in limited supply at the local nurseries. Tropical is (mistakenly)
sold as a native species. I have attempted to buy the local native plant, without success
My current milkweed is about 3 to 4 yrs old.
