Has anyone had experience with growing this host plant in a container? Initially, I thought to put it in the ground but i have read that the plant attracts ants that attack the Sulphur caterpillars and so i'm thinking that i could control the ants better if the plant were in a container. Or possibly you have grown this plant and ants have not been a problem?
