From Ayla: Water once a week for the first summer after planting, then every other week the 2nd summer, and then once a month during the summer after that.
I ❣️adore asclepias❣️Several strains in our habitat gardens. They add texture, color, vital food and cover. They reseed and spread through runners. Brilliant orange + yellow blooms or silky pink among many choices. We also have pipe vine to attract Louise Hallberg's magnificent obsession. Flowers, pods equally compelling. Then the butterflies emerge. 😊 Grateful for all that thrives here.
Good article and great photos with one problem: does Asclepia require irrigation to make it through our summers?
