[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jacob Cline bee balm is what consistently attracts hummingbirds for me. It is pretty tall and floppy, but if you cut it back by about half in late may/early June, it will bloom later and smaller but will stay shorter. Regular milkweed is pretty tall and not terribly attractive. There is a much shorter, bright orange variety that also attracts butterflies. [/quote] I just started some common milkweed from seed and now you guys have me second guessing this! I don’t have a huge yard and it seems like this species is more suited to open spaces where it can really grow wild?[/quote] yes, common milkweed is better suited for open spaces - in my yard it keeps escaping and popping up all over my lawn and flower beds. And I wouldn't call that plant all that attractive - flowers are pretty for very short period of time. swamp milkweed is better in my opinion[/quote]
