Freeze damaged tropical milkweed in far southwest Austin on 3/8/20. This was cut back 11/1/19 to encourage Monarchs to keep moving south, kept outside thru winter regardless of temperature. Native milkweed is NOT germinating or growing well in Central Texas; do not be judgmental. I have spent close to 100 dollars on native milkweed seeds and plants, for the last 3 years with very small plants to show for it. Tropical was purchased as a supplement for monarchs in spring 2019. Monarchs found the native milkweed in ground but would have starved to death without supplementation.
