ASCLEPIAS purpurascens

Size 2 quart - $15.00



Description: Purple Milkweed has intense rose pink flowers for several weeks in early to mid summer, followed by the attractive pods of silky seeds typical of the genus. Very tolerant of a wide variety of soils and light levels, it is easy to grow. Tolerates shade, but blooms better in the sun. Found from New Hampshire to North Carolina, west to Minnesota and Arkansas. Bill Cullina calls this plant "a good non-invasive substitute for the common milkweed, A. syriaca, in the garden." Deer resistant.
