Maintenance Tips

• Towards the end of summer, milkweeds may get oleander aphids, small yellow insects which cover stems and flowers. They will not harm the plant and can be left alone or removed by hand.
• Similarly, bright orange Large Milkweed Bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) may visit and feed on your plants. This will not harm the plant.
• Milkweed seed pods can be easily collected, saved, and shared to propagate this powerful pollinator plant.
