Milkweed problem #880810

Asked August 09, 2024, 10:15 AM EDT

Would like to know what is wrong with my milkweed. I dug it out because it looked so sick. Does this mean I can’t plant more milkweed in the same location?

Thank you for contacting Ask Extension.  
Thank you for the excellent pictures.  I believe you have chlorosis.  Look at the fact sheets linked below for treatment ideas.  No worries, you can still have milkweed! ;-))
