Well worth the money no matter what!
So i wasn't sure that all the seeds i got would germinate since I've read that they can be difficult. So i did the milk jug trick but in some rinsed out vinegar bottles instead. When i say every single seed i put in there sprouted I'm not kidding! I literally had to go out and find people just to give the plants to them. So the few that i kept took a little bit to grow which is fine i didn't expect much since I've never grown milkweed. Then i started to see the monarchs coming around and watched one laying eggs under the leaves (pretty weird but cool) A short while later i started seeing the caterpillars (50 of them on 4 plants at least!), them buggers are ferocious eaters they ate all the plants down to green sticks! I surely thought they were going to die but the butterflies got to live so there's at least that. Then about a week later i started seeing some new green growth and now the leaves are back! I might just get to see the seed pods afterall, so either way it's a win this year! Definitely recommend
