Does Milkweed spread as it grows over time? I just want to have a good idea of where I should be planting this.

Each individual plant will spread out a bit as it branches out. Some plants will produce seed pods which are still on the plants but I do not know if they will survive our horribly cold winter here in Houston. Each plant spread out to 12" wide and 2-3 feet tall

not really, but it get pretty tall (about 2 feets high). It didn't survive on winter. I already start plant it early this year it a pot, so I can move it indoor during winter. hope this help.

It grows great in California..I have it only on pathways in a shadier side of the yard..It really looks great between bricks and planting areas..Good stuff.

Yes. I grew mine in a pot last spring and took it in for the winter and did amazingly. It lost about 1/4 of it's leaves over the winter but otherwise did great. Keep it by a window that gets the most sunshine and keep it watered. Mine is now outside again and has doubled in size this spring. My mom who lives in in the same zone had a bit more problems with her plant during the winter, but she cut it back this spring and it's growing great now.

I know next to nothing about growing flora in the aquarium except some BS I've read in forums. I have planted a low growing and tall growing pair of plants in my 29 high tank with the appropriate sized model of this light. It is a medium populated community tank and I do not use CO2. I do dose daily with Flourish Excel. My plants appear to be doing well and some new sprouts have developed and are growing. I will take a picture and post it in the user pictures portion.

I live in Homestead, Fl and mine are doing really well. I planted mine along my fence and 6 months time a few of them have quadrupled in size. They are doing much better than the honey suckle I planted.

I planted two in the ground rabbits ate one and the other took off nicely I live in wisconsin so I mulched it heavy for the winter and hope when i uncover I still have a plant. My mom placed one in a pot inside and its growing slowly but sure she wants to see if it will mature enough to plant this year if I have no luck with mine I used a manure soil mixed with potting soil that feeds like mircle grow. GOOD LUCK!

I planted in a place where it gets no sun. It has leaves but is still only about 12 inches high, so it's growing very slowly. I'm giving it one more summer before I move it.

I have not seen any significant spread .I also have patchy areas where just now I m realizing after putting down about a 1/4 inch top soil/sand blend and then reseeding that with the substantial rains this last 2 weeks in Austin that the seeds are getting washed out as my back yard is sloped (ie top soil gone and sand remains with bare spot) The good news is that I seeded the composted mulch the seed seems to be doing good and not washing out.

This plant will grow in zones 4-6. You should be fine with it. It will survive snow. It's a perennial. I haven't even planted mine yet. We have a frost warning for tonight. Crazy weather. I'm using it for around rocks in a rock garden to fill in the spaces. Good luck!

Well directions say it has to happen during germination ... Which I assume to be spring. I'd test it on a small area and see the results. It did not seem to kill crabgrass on the spot. Kind of seemed to help the other parts of my lawn from the crabgrass invasion so to speak.

I've loved this plant for a year. Seven or 8. THIS IS A SMALL PLANT. I have it outdoors now and it's doing well

This plant is so resilient that it can grow anywhere. Once it takes hold it can go dry for a while - doesn't have to be wet all the time. It does better in sun. Beware - it spreads very, very fast. I have mine in a container.

Sorry, but I do not know. I am near Albany, NY, where we have cold winters. I bought my plant in late Summer and it grew tremendously. However, we brought it in the house for the first winter to give it a chance to develop a little more before we try leaving it out all year. Once we plant it outside, we plan to plant it near the house on the south facing side to give it the best chance of survival.

I live in southern Ohio and mind this past winter. Since this was the first winter it went through I don't know if it was the weather or the place where I planted it. The other two I had there died as well but I have two others living that I put in different places. They are also different vines.

I google image searched cypress vine and I saw where some people let them grow across the ground,the grow sort of like a bush that way, but I have always planted mine against a trellis of some sort. From experience I know that they will grab onto anything the can attach to and vine upward.

I live in California, zone 9 and have it planted outside through the winter. The first year it lost all its leaves after the frost and I was worried it had died. I also had to replant it due to problems with the soil. This is it's second winter and it held up very well. No fruit yet, I am not expecting any for a couple of years. I have it positioned where it has some protection from cold winds. I previously had it planted out in the open, so this may have made a difference.

All my strawberry plants are outside in dirt/containers near the house for now so I can keep an eye on them (deer). After this winter looking forward to see how many I see growing again. I believe tomato can take the upside down growing. My understanding is sometimes plants make leaves and no flowers because they have to get older, or because they are not in the best light for making the flower/fruit. If you live near county co-op extension, master gardeners (co-op extension) or have a botanical or arboretum somewhere near, or gardener groups, you have LOTS of knowledge for your specific area for success/failure with plants.
