In that location are 41 members of the Asclepias (milkweed) native to North America, thirteen to New York Country. In the area of Maine, New York, south-central New York State, USDA Hardiness Zone 5a to 5b, at that place are five shown in the USDA Plant Profiles every bit existence native. Nosotros experience that the instructions for ane milkweed would exist pretty like to the others, but we are going to list that 5 native to your area, and look at propagation instructions for them to run into what would be appropriate. Follow each establish link to the webpage on that detail plant in our Native Plant Database to find out more about that species. Members of Asclepias Genus Native to Broome Co., New York Area: Asclepias exaltata (poke milkweed) Asclepias incarnata (swamp milkweed) Asclepias quadrifolia (fourleaf milkweed) Asclepias syriaca (common milkweed) Asclepias tuberosa (butterfly milkweed) From information in our Native Plant Database: "The name milkweed refers to the milky white sap, which contains biting chemicals to protect the plants from predators. A few insects are immune to these poisons and accumulate them in their bodies, protecting themselves from their own predators. Monarch butterflies cannot complete their life cycles without milkweed." "Propagation Textile: Seeds , Root Cuttings It would appear that under whatever circumstances, y'all are going to have to wait until Fall to transfer your milkweed to another part of your garden, whether by seed or by division. From our Native Establish Image Gallery:
Description: The easiest method of propagation is root cuttings. In the fall, cutting the taproot into 2-inch sections and plant each department vertically, keeping the area moist.
Seed Drove: Watch plants closely for seedpods in late summertime/early on fall. Allow seeds to completely mature before collecting seed to institute new plants in another location. A long pod is produced containing hundreds of seeds with tufts of long, silky hairs (an adaptation for current of air dispersal).
Commercially Avail: aye
Maintenance: Needs to be transplanted carefully and requires practiced drainage. It takes 2 – 3 years earlier Asclepias produces its flowers which appear in 2 – three inch clusters. Once established, it lasts for years, becoming thicker each year."
