Prolly shoulda mentioned the previous post with a link...
But... I was surprised by the defensive responses posted when I did provide the link...
I can not grow milkweed nor do I have room for trumpet vines, passion vines
nor all types of plants that
get huge...
There are a number of milkweeds that you could be growing that do not spread, esp; asclepias tuberosa, which grows from seeds fairly easily.
Speaking of large plants...
How much turf do you have?
Hate that stuff.... Probably the single largest reason for butterfly decline...
Even growing sterile cultivars leaves us open to critism by the purists... Partly because of what happened with the Bradford pears...
They weren't a problem when there was a single variety being planted... When other types were brought in... They cross-pollinated, and suddenly started coming up everywhere!
Whether that's likely with the supposed sterile cultivars of buddleja is subject to conjecture.
