The swamp milkweed I have in a raised bed emerged in early April. It currently has two shoots about 3 inches tall. Another swamp milkweed is emerging through the thick leaf mulch in a flower bed. Last summer I saw two monarch caterpillars on on one plant but never saw a butterfly afterwards. I'm hoping to have better luck this year. I would like to have more milkweed but it is difficult to find.
