My Swamp Milkweed is beginning to form a handful of pods. I am not sure which beetle it is, but I know one will eat the seeds or some part of the pod. Is there any way to protect these? I have a couple of friends who want seeds, and I'd like to grow more of this Milkweed.
What is funny is I planted some Swamp Milkweed plugs in a wet spot in our yard and they only came up two years, then never to be seen again. This year this Milkweed came up in a drier area and it is doing very well. I do not remember pods developing on those first plants.
Thank you for any suggestions.
