The Native Plant Store can Now be Found Here

  • This page will remain accessible as a library page until I have all the species moved to the new page and all the quirks worked out in the new software so it can function as a searchable library.
  • Please see the Using the Plant Library  page  for some tips on how to make the most of the information in this existing library to select species for creating a healthy native plant community suited to the conditions of your site.

Asclepias sullivantii, Prairie Milkweed

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.
