@HoosierDaddy_

I just want to thank you for these year long looks at plants. It is so helpful, especially in the spring, so I don't accidentally pull up flowers that look like weeds. This channel has helped me immensely!

@luzvigerminal558

Beautiful plant I have one plant about 3 years old and they are in partial shade. They are tall around 5 feet 8 inches tall and they having a lot of flowers last year. I mulch them with fall leaves, it seems they love the deep mulched. I live in U.K. with plenty of rain. Unfortunately we don’t have monarch here in U.K. but bees and other insects love them so much.

@moomoo3031

you didnt say anything about how wonderful they smell! Thats why i want to grow some at home, to smell them! Theres big patches of them in fields, and on the highway by culverts, but I want my own patch. I keep gathering seeds and tossing them around with no luck at all growing any. Trying again this year!

@robertsmith5745

This is my first tear to plant a pollinator garden. Have a lot to:learn but your video has been very helpful. Need to learn all I can as fast as I can as I am 85 yo. Last year ripped out most of my traditional flowers and going totally with pollinators. Planted 3 pink swamp milkweeds last October. Waiting for Spring.

Incredible video. Thank you for taking the time to video asclepias incarnata in each and every season and to show and discuss the insect activity you've seen on it. This is the exact info I was looking for. Thanks for trying to help our native wildlife :) i just planted some in my yard

@akashajoti6456

I enjoyed how you encouraged letting Nature do its thing!

@christiridley1009

Just found your channel, and wanted to say thank you for taking the time to show us a full year of footage! It is very helpful. Also, thank you for the reminder to leave the stalks! It is so tempting to tidy up our yards, but we need to be more mindful of the organisms that use the stems and.other material for nesting. ❤🐝

@marieharkinson7861

The pink flowers smell like Vanilla

@chanchan5349

I have accidentally pulled up young swamp milkweed very early spring….fortunately I still have a stand.

@marky3131

Appreciate the video. While I grow milkweed I’ve not tried the swamp milkweed. I’ll plant some this year. Your patience’s and fort bought to take a year to make this video is great.

I just bought a swamp milkweed plant . I have lots of wild milkweed. Lots of monarchs

@rockyk9316 4 часа назад

Thank you very much for time laps video. Never seen or heard of these plants. When I was looking for orange color flowers, I found orange Butterfly perenial. That is pretty much same milweed family as yours. I am learning about them because I've ordered a few

@lyndabeam2622 День назад

I wasn’t sure so I broke a leaf and a white substance comes out on mine

@Vaaris_WX

I have swamp milkweed in a planter/pot around 10in. The plant is doing great! However i was wondering will it come back next year even if it’s in a potter and not in grown? Or do you recommend i transplant it into the ground, if so I won’t be able to do it later on sometime in September or so, you think that’s okay? Sorry for all of the questions 😅 Thanks!

@restorationlandscapingkankakee

Rose Milkplant sounds best to people who are afraid of "weeds".

@jujubee7351

Do you ever cut the flowers off as soon as you see them? Another lady said they will start to branch out once you do this. Is that true ?

@charlesatwell9976

I love those plants. The bees love them too, but they multiply so quickly though their rhizomes and are taking over the plots where I wanted to plant my potatoes. I am torn between digging out the roots (rhizomes) which I tried to do last year too. I don't imagine that the potatoes can grow well if they have to compete with all those underground rhizomes. Any tips?

Were you a theater kid? You have theater kid energy 🙂

@sarahnovamusicatlanta

What zone are you? The zones changed in December!

@marieharkinson7861

Great video this is my second year for Swamp milkweed. I'm really enjoying all the action on this plant bees caterpillars flies and a variety of butterflies
