MinxFox's plant: Tropical Milkweed (Asclepias curassavica)

Tropical milkweed can be bad for monarch butterflies since it stays green all year if not killed back by the cold. This encourages the butterflies to stay instead of migrate. So remember to cut the plant back as the weather gets cooler for Fall. Other than that, this is a great plant aside from attracting 100's of aphids.
