I lost an orange butterfly weed this year that had the wilt for two years along with another orange (Asclepias tuberose) one in a garden by my garage but the one next to it is doing great? Last year I planted some purple milkweeds (Asclepias Purpurascens) and this year a couple of them got the wilt and they are gone and that was in my butterfly host bed and the rest of them are fine so far, I can’t have that in my host bed of all places what do I do about this wilt disease??? Does anyone know what causes it and how I deal with it should I just go ahead and dig the infected plants up is there any hope for them? Is there a spray that I can use?

How many of you have this problem?
