We just purchased this plant this summer. We live in zone 5. Does this
plant need to be
cut back in either late winter or early spring? Thanks!

I would wait until spring, because butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa)
can be a wee bit late in emerging, compared to other perennials, so it's
good to have a few old stems to mark its location. Plus, I like to let
this native go to seed and spread the bounty.
