Flat contains: 32 plugs Asclepias verticillata Whorled milkweed is one of the most broadly distributed of all milkweeds in the United States. Because this species is one of the last milkweeds to go dormant as the season progresses, it is a common late season host plant for monarch larvae. Due to its narrow leaves and stems, this species blends in with grasses and is easily overlooked when not in bloom. Among the milkweeds, the whorled milkweed is one of the few clone forming species. In some...

Flat contains: 32 plugs Asclepias viridis Green Antelopehorn is common in pastures from Kansas to Texas. It is generally avoided by cattle and horses. It can be found along roadsides, ditches, prairies, open areas, and other areas with little vegetative competition. The yellow?white flowers are borne on large erect umbels. The flowers are distinct in that they lack horns. Green Antelopehorn thrives in dry areas, prairies, pastures, glades, ditches, disturbed ground, and limestone soils. Sun...

Asclepias syriaca Common milkweed grows in sandy, clayey, or rocky calcareous soils. It is recommended that you plant common milkweed in well-drained soil. Within its range it can be found in a broad array of habitats from croplands, to pastures, roadsides, ditches and old fields. Common milkweed spreads via rhizomes and forms small to large patches of clones. Rhizomes can be cut and transplanted early in the spring. Sun Requirement: Not shade tolerant. Full sun required. Fun Facts: Native...

Flat contains: 32 plugs Asclepias incarnata Swamp milkweed (A. incarnata) is a tall plant with fragrant, showy clusters of pink and light purple flowers. It does well in landscape plantings with moist soil and in plantings near bodies of water. Unlike many ornamentals, swamp milkweed tolerates heavy clay soils and is very deer resistant once it is established. It is a more cultivated alternative to common milkweed that is also attractive to egg laying monarchs. (source: USDA plant database)...

Flat contains: 32 plugs Asclepias tuberosa Butterflyweed is ideal in semi-dry places where it can spread without presenting problems for other ornamental species. (Source: USDA plant database.) Butterflyweed does well in sandy, loamy, or rocky calcareous soils of prairies, roadsides, and waste places. It is recommended that you plant butterflyweed in well-drained soil. The flowers are usually orange, rarely yellow or red. Sun Requirement: Not shade tolerant. Full sun required. Fun Fact: In the...

Flat contains: 32 plugs Asclepias speciosa Showy Milkweed is closely related with the common milkweed, A. syriaca, with which it sometimes hybridizes at the eastern limits of its distribution. Showy milkweed tends to grow at higher altitude than common milkweed. These species are similar in appearance and growth form (tall and robust), but showy milkweed can be distinguished by the layer of fine white hairs and flowers that look like small crowns. Can grow in coarse, medium, and fine soils....
