Grown swamp milkweed in the past but it only flowered first time i planted it back in summer 2024.

This year i’m doing it differently by having its pot in a large bottom quarter barrel filled with water and with pebbles on the bottom for water access for drainage holes. So far no wilting at all which is a good sign i think.. also i switch out the water every 2-3 days to make sure it doesn’t go stagnant.

I also feel like I should mention this, I know there is different species of milkweed specifically the native species to my region, which are easier to grow, but rest assured I have a healthy patch of zizotes milkweed in my backyard. I just want to grow swamp milkweed because out of all the species incarnata has to be my favorite!
