The Plant Store will re-open for sales the week of May 13th, 2024 for local pickup

  • Please see the Using the Plant Library  page  for some tips on how to make the most of the information here to select species for creating a healthy native plant community suited to the conditions of your site.
  • I'm currently working on shifting the store part of this site over to more complex software that will allow for filtering by multiple plant traits and making wish lists of species you would like to order, so please bear with me when it comes to announcing the exact species offerings for 2024 (there will be lots, including some species not previously offered).

Asclepias sullivantii 

Prairie Milkweed

Still new to my gardens, grown from seeds sourced from Prairie Moon Nursery. https://www.prairiemoon.com/asclepias-sullivantii-prairie-milkweed-prairie-moon-nursery.html

This species is described by Prairie Moon as being similar to Common Milkweed while being slower to spread, which could make them a bit more suited to urban and suburban garden settings.

They are described as growing to roughly 3’ in height and recommended spacing between plants is 1’-2’.

Please check out the Prairie Moon listing at the link above for more details.
