The milkweed I have has orange little cluster flowers at top. I think it was also called "Butterfly Weed". Is this the same thing? I don't cut them until they die back for the winter. I've also tried growing some from seeds I bought online - Purple Milkweed & Prairie Milkweed with no luck. I wonder if I should go to the local nursery and see if they have a large one. I want it to look wild!


In looking at different pictures, I'm pretty sure I have Butterfly Weed. Here's a picture I found on:
