Transplanting Milkweed

Question

I planted milkweed seeds in a pot, and would like to replant them in the ground so they will get more water and spread and grow (come on, monarchs!). Is milkweed a perennial or an annual? What should I do to insure it is happy in it’s new location (close to where it’s been so far). Thanks!

Answer 1

This simple perennial will grow without help. You can, carefully, transplant into the area of choice any time that the weather is mild. It helps to do so after a rain.
