A white hued version of Asclepias rubra, also known as Red Milkweed. The white version of this milkweed is a more dainty plant, but grows just as tall, reaching up to 4'. We discovered this color from a single plant in 2024 and found the seeds to grow true to parent in 2025. Plants grew well in both a bog setting and in standard soil with irrigation.

These will bloom first year if grown in excellent conditions. We have a very small amount of these seeds available for 2025, but hope to have more available for 2026 and beyond. As we did with the standard Asclepias rubra, pricing will drop accordingly at that time.

Red milkweed such a great plant. It grows best in wet conditions and does not mind having it's roots completely submerged. It does not like to dry out at all. If you have a bog, this would be an excellent addition to that. Also does well in a pot with irrigation set on frequent. The flowers come in waves. As one completes flowering, it sends up a ladder to the next bloom. Some of our plants have produced up to 6 blooms from early July to the end of August. This ecotype is from North Carolina. Photo is of an actual mother plant. Colors can vary from pink to white.

Reaches from 2 to 4' tall.
