Spectacular! THANKS! Subscribed!

Love this series so much thank you :)

So far, 2nd and probably last flower flush of the growing season on mine! Never thought I’d see flowers in August and I saw a neighbour’s orange milkweed blooming same as mine too! 🎊

2 questions: is this type of milkweed invasive (I’m in zone 6a) & will it work as a detriment to the spotted lanternfly? I read that milkweed is lethal to it, which I can live with because of the problems they pose to crops. Thanks!

I hope you are right about bad bugs and good bugs because this year I sure had the bad bugs

I did notice the lack of mulch honelstly not really any of last years dead growth. is that universally a good idea or more in your zone...I'm in 6B ish I'd say we get chili in winter...follow up I hear what u say later in the video but I see the vids of new growth coming up out of bear soil

Thank you!!

Oh dang why don’t you have tops on the milk jugs every video I’ve seen has the lids on

This is good info. This is my first year having this plant and mine flopped over and laying on the ground. I wasn’t sure if I planted it wrong. I think I’ll prop it up carefully with a post.

thank you. what plant is in the cage and why?

Love love seeing all the stages and appreciate learning! Thk u

this is wonderful

❤❤❤

smells like anise!

Lovely and helpful video, thank you! Few people create videos than span this much time, but it's so helpful when I'm new to this plant, I started it from seed, and interested in learning what's ahead for my plant. My question is, does anyone cut it back at all in its first year to create a bushier plant? Second question is how to use for tea. Is it the leaves or the flowers or both? Fresh or dried? ☕️

New subscriber here. Rabbits ate all my cone flowers. I'm going to replant but fence them.

Wow, this was an incredibly informative video, and enjoyable to listen to someone else who is obsessed with milkweed like i am. I learned a few fun facts i didnt know from this one! Ive really been enjoying my milkweed garden this year. I started it 2 years ago and this year its really flourished beyond what i thought it could, and the ecosystem that has formed around it is blowing my mind. It came up so dense this year, i even have a mama bunny nesting in there right now. Amazing to see in what used to be just a barren half-dead chunk of suburban yard.

love it !!!

I am here for this.

Hello @Native Flower Power , Thank you so much for taking time to make these videos. I ran across your channel about a month and a half ago since I was looking into interesting flowers to plant in my yard. I have since subscribed and learned a ton since courtesy of your work. I will definitely plant Coneflowers in my yard going forward. I do have a request though. I have recently planted Eastern Red Columbines in the hopes of attracting more hummingbirds to my yard. Could you do a similar video on the Eastern Red Columbine when you have an opportunity? Again, thanks a million for the efforts that you put into these videos. They are greatly appreciated.

Great video, thanks, very informative. I built a rain garden last year and my Swamp Milkweed is huge this year LOL. Any tips on keeping them from folding over? My flowers are heavy and we had a huge downpour tonight so they are all bent over and one snapped up high :(.

It took 3 years for mine to bloom

wow thank you! Love this with all the seasons . Great info

they will do much better if you place them where they do not get water. unlike many mint plants, AH does not like wet feet. in fact it is probably the most wet intolerant of mint family most of which i grow in my orchard. i have a thing about mints 🙂 mints are absolutely awesome for attracting native pollinators, my orchard humms 🙂great vid. for identification, you might add some macro still shots.

Thank you so much for helping me learn the plant! I think I"ll add it to my little habitat.

I just bought a swamp milkweed plant . I have lots of wild milkweed. Lots of monarchs

Thank you very much for time laps video. Never seen or heard of these plants. When I was looking for orange color flowers, I found orange Butterfly perenial. That is pretty much same milweed family as yours. I am learning about them because I've ordered a few

Thank you very much for showing time laps of Batterfly weed flower. I love orange flowers in general, that's how I found these online. Never seen them before. Got excited looking at beautiful flowers and very sturdy leaves. Ordered online. First order came as bare roots. Long way to see them blooming. Now ordered few live plants. So beautiful flowers! Does accidental frost in April -May can affect them or not? I live in 5b zone

Is there a way I can remove your sign from blocking the video image...? Maybe better to include your obstructive extra written info labels ..in your "More" info area ..👋

Do you have problems with slugs eating them

Thank you so much for this!! I often wonder how plants look through the year

My daughter used to pet bumble bees. You are only the second person I've heard does that.

Loving this series! Keep it up!!

Love your content sm!

I’ve been waiting for another video like this from you. This is the best native planting channel on TH-cam! Thanks so much for sharing:,)

A fantastic video that shows exactly how to find keystone native plants. Thank you so much for sharing this with people! I love your personality in these videos. It really shines through.

I really appreciate the time and care you put into this video. The detail is incredible! I love seeing the timeline , especially what they look like when breaking out in the spring!

I’m lucky to have common, orange and red milkweed! 🎉So far, no monarch caterpillar… Also the common one is potted (spreads too much) and unlike the red and orange mw, has not flowered yet! 🤔 Just leaves. All the wild ones I see are blooming or even finished. I suspect that it doesn’t like much to be in its (self-watering) bucket and kinda crowded, probably 6-7 plants sharing the space.

👍🏼…Great Direction of this video!

Incredible video. Thank you for taking the time to video asclepias incarnata in each and every season and to show and discuss the insect activity you've seen on it. This is the exact info I was looking for. Thanks for trying to help our native wildlife :) i just planted some in my yard

Finally got two of these after 3 seasons of failed germinations. I love the cheerful yellow flowers and it's a recommended native plant for pollinators!

Thank you! Do black eye Susan comeback every year in Colorado?

I wasn’t sure so I broke a leaf and a white substance comes out on mine

Timely video. We are a new group with the goal of creating native pollinator gardens across our county. Current project is a local high school who has allowed us to develop a garden with various types of native gardens including a prairie. Exciting stuff. Thanks

I’m just in the planning stages and was wondering why you might not want to have a mixed garden situation. Like having native plants as well as non-native (as long as they are not invasive) in your garden. Maybe different areas for each or something? Should I be avoiding non-native at all costs? Or is it ok to have a mix?

AMAZING 💚 Thank you for creating this Agastache story and share it with us. I just planed my FIRST one ("Blue Fortune") this early June within our new butterfly garden, and your story gives me insight what to expect (hopefully) 🙏

Great video. Question. I'm new to native gardening. I planted 18 gallon sized hairy beards tongue. 1 has died (I think) another is almost dead, I think. And the rest have flowered and are done, but seem to be doing ok? They're all in the same sunny area with the same soil and watering. Any ideas? Or what should I look for to keep the others from dying? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you ❤

Thanks so much for all of this info!

Great video. Very informative. ❤
