Milkweed Seedpods Come in all Shapes and Sizes

| Poke Milkweed - November 1, 2013 |
At nodding Onion Gardens we propagate seven different milkweed species, several of which are currently not in production. At different stages of development it is easy to confuse one species from another. Identifying milkweed based on their pods shape is a simple method of learning how to recognize one family member from another.
The only draw back to this strategy is; like flower color it requires one to wait patiently until the flower blooms or a pod forms. It is not the most efficient means of identification; never the less it is fun and entertaining.
