Hate to be saying this, but I'm not sure if this plant is going to survive. Last Friday, my parents hired some tree trimmers that, unfortunately, did a "weed treatment" aka spraying roundup or whatever on "weed-like" plants. I had signs on 9 out of 10 plants that were sprayed.

Fortunately all of the large incarnata and perennis survived (I would have been really upset about that since they are well established in a plant bed). Sadly, all of the Cynanchum seedlings I had were sprayed. 3 out of the 4 were hosed down with the stuff, wilted, and died. The last one which was at the base of a trellis with a clearly written sign was sprayed but not as heavily. The leaves have brown spots on them (where there weren't any before), but the leaves don't seem to be wilting like the others. Do you think that these plants can take a little weed killer on the leaves and be ok?

I can't really blame the trimmers as they mostly work with people who can't stand milkweed, but when you grow something from seeds that you stratified and nurtured for months, then bam dead; feels like a kick in the stomach. Sighing!
