Nancy,
all I can tell you is that it is supposed to be ok up to zone 9. Also, Park Seed (where I got my original seed for the plant) says this, " This native American plant loves full sun and thrives in heat, humidity, and even drought ..."

Milkweed usually does best in damp areas, but hey, give it a try if your other milkweed survives.

I do find Monarch catapillars on these. Also, I have a short hydranga planted in front of it to hide its 'legs'.

Here is a picture of one of my monarch cat.
