Finally a successful Asclepias. Year 2 plant!! I think the reason that these are not common in Pacific NW (well, at least not in Willamette Valley gardens), is that they are BY FAR, a slug's favorite food. I have started many from seed x 2 years. I plant them out when they are large. But by the morning, they have been eaten to nothing. And although we do not have Monarch butterflies in the Pacific NW (Milkweeds, asclepias are their sole food source I believe), they attract many butterflies.
Another, much taller variety.
