When To Prune Milkweed?

Short Answer, NEVER!!!

What if you're growing it in a pot?

Is the larva yellow with legs?

Wrong. Pruning milkweed once in mid July is beneficial for Monarchs laying eggs. The milkweed will regrow, and Monarchs prefer laying eggs on younger plants.

my thinking is that in the wild no one cuts back the milkweed?
