I believe so. A. tuberosa is the one that does not like my full sun, nicely draining, good soil perennial bed. My A. incarnata does just great for me in my "swamp" and always returns!

Just confused as always...

Me, too.  I have butterfly weed in a shady, tight spot with day lilies
that
get early morning sun, a raised area in the sun and in another sunny

bed

that gets pretty good drainage.  In East TN, butterfly weed grows

wild,

usually in sunny spots with steep slopes.   Hope this helps.

Really?  I have my butterfly weed in three different gardens...all

different

light, moisture and soil.  They have come back for the second

year....all
of

them.  How strange that yours doesn't?

Don't think butterfly weed would stand the wet. By the way, anyone

have

hints as to how to get it to survive more than a growing season? My

swamp

milkweed does great, and self seeds, butterfly weed wimps out after

one

year. (Yes, they are planted in entirely different areas!)
