United StatesRobust growth
They came looking a little sad from the travel and heat. But they were packaged wonderfully and all the starts quickly came back to life. Gave them extra TLC on the porch and will be planting this weekend. Another set of milkweed came earlier and have done amazing so these look like they will do the same!

United StatesReplacement Plants
Possibly a result of a hard freeze last winter the plants set last fall did not survive. Received new plants and have them planted and growing fine now hoping for tougher plants by winter.
