my milkweeds fall over in rain

Postby David Calhoun » Wed Jun 16, 2010 1:25 pm

I did a search and didn't find an answer to this.After a heavy rain, some of my (common) milkweeds
have fallen over . They're not dead , just almost laying on the ground. Should I support them,prop them up?David

Definitely take something and stake them; otherwise, they will continue to lay on the ground. Heavy rain does that to tall flowers.
