Nothing wrong in planting more varieties...
Years ago, I planted a lot of asclepias tuberosa seed, and the voles killed the entire patch.
I planted the common milkweed, and the monarchs don't seem to like it.
I tried the tropical milkweed and it's just too dry here.
I'm actually having some success with matelea... and it's real pretty...
So... I want to see some pictures...
Last year, the pipevine caterpillars reduced the patch of variegated pipevine to bare stems... it came back fine.
