Real dilemma, monarch cats have eaten most of the tropical milkweed (35 plants) and a couple of female adults showed up today. Laying eggs began immediately, even with 2-3 big cats on each plant. No room left in the pillar houses so I placed wild common milkweed in containers nearby.
This is my first year growing tropical milkweed which is an annual here. Does anyone know if it will regrow leaves and flower / seed after being denuded by hungry cats?
