Yes, there does seem to be some truth in advertising here. I should caution you that you will also have butterflies laying their eggs on Asclepias and as a result, the caterpillars will use your plants to munch on. But try to sacrifice a few leaves to have the eventual treat of more butterflies in the garden.
