| Saw this plant for the first time on the Highline in NYC three weeks ago.. Of course now that I know the plant I'm seeing more and more of it.. So I picked up one small plant from a local grower and it's just four sprigs about 13 inches tall. I would like it bushy.. Will this plant take it there or should more be planted. I just want the one good size plant. Thanks.. |

| Give it time to grow. It may take a few years. |

| It will also self-seed, at least mine has, and it grows very well. Also, it is pretty late to come out of the ground in spring. Mine is currently covered with honey bees. |

| In my experience the tuberous rooted, perennial species of milkweeds are slow growing for the first few years. Your plant probably won't be a large bushy plant for about 2-3 seasons. Although it's hard, you'll need to have patience for this one. |
