Seems to be dying
Would RecommendVery pretty specimen when I got it but in one week it is losing its leaves. Hopefully it’s just shock and it will bounce back.

Killed my Caterpillars
Would Not RecommendI had 9 monarch caterpillars that were growing strong but they had eaten the milkweed plants I had. So I picked this one up so they could finish growing and go to cocoon. Not long after I introduced the plant and they started eating it I noticed they got really sluggish, and were barely moving. Two days later now and they are all dead. One turned completely black. Never had this happen with any of the nursery milkweeds I've purchased. I"m guessing there was a pesticide on this plant. Neve...

Milkweed for Monarchs
I buy this milkweed because I raise the Florida monarch butterflies. This is the plant that they lay their eggs on and also the caterpillars eat the leaves.

As a consequence, the caterpillars who made it into chrysalis stage, came out deformed or died in the chrysalis. This is unacceptable. Lowes needs to make sure the plants that are exclusive for the Florida Monarch be pesticide free, and not sprayed with...

Pesticides on this milkweed.
Would Not RecommendI bought 3 of these last winter (In Florida) to feed about 30 Monarch caterpillars who had stripped my garden milkweed. All but one of the caterpillars died within 24 hours after moving them to these plants. Lowe's should not sell this plant, as they are loaded with pesticides, and will kill Monarchs. Lowe's should only sell pesticide free milkweed, or not at all. It is very sad to think of the numbers of Monarchs they are killing.
