There are a number of milkweed species that vary in the conditions they like. Some like moist and rich soil, some wet and swampy areas, some like sandy and dry soil.

Look for a local extension service or guide on what species are native near you and what types might be good for your soil conditions.



yeah, but instead of everybody with a backyard here contacting an extension service, I wanted to carry around in my head the basic possiblities so if I'm every visiting a friend with a backyard I can say "hey, you can plant milkweed".

I don't have a backyard, apartment.
