Chris, I don't think I knew that there was a shorter variety, I'll have to keep that in mind. I usually just put the Heliotrope in pots on the deck where I can watch the butterflies come and go. With a shorter variety I could do some different plant combs.
I got these Scarlet Milkweed seeds from a DG trade. I was told they are tropicals so I'm hoping to get seed pods so I can save some seeds for next year. I was running out of room so I just sprinkled some into a couple of milk jugs and set them outside and they did fine, which makes me wonder if they will reseed themselves even though they are tropical????
I'm really afraid that next year I will have trouble telling the weeds from the seeds. I put in a lot of different plants this year and some of them don't look too different than some of the weeds when they first emerge.
