I tried these in 2021 and had fair germination. I planned out about 10 plants and they did well. About the weeks after planting out, I came outside to find Monarch caterpillars happily chomping away! They ate all of my plants down to the ground! While I did miss the flowers, I couldn't be angry. Clearly the little thighs needed the food! A small price to pay and all that.I decided to try again in 2023 and so far, so good! I waited a little later to plant out and while the butterflies are clearly interested, the plants are still growing!
