Help with Milkweed that is wilted

Thanks in advanced for your feedback. We live in Orlando and planted 2 types of milkweed to support pollinators. I installed drip irrigation as well.

I planted them about 2 weeks ago and the milkweed in the front continuously becomes wilted during the day. Last night I had the drip irrigation On for about 1 hour from 8-9pm

This morning around 11am the leaves were wilted and droopy (1st pic)., the 3rd picture shows the irrigation and how much water they get.

Should I water them daily, multiple times per day until fully established? I appreciate the advice., I want them to take and become fully stablished.

I have this beautiful vine looking plant that grows from the other side of the fence. Butterflies and other pollinators seem to love it. I find the little flowers to be so beautiful.

Can you help me identify what plant this is? We’ve been at our house for 7 years and every year it comes back bigger and stronger to the point that I’m thinking I need to trim it down a bit.

This year I’m planting passion fruit to the right of the fence to attract more butterflies. Thanks for the help.
