We steer customers away from tropical milkweed (Asclepias curassavica) because it stays evergreen through mild Gulf South winters, which delays monarch migration and lets the OE parasite build up on the foliage. Butterfly weed resents transplanting once its taproot is established, so choose its permanent home the first time.
