Swamp Milkweed
Asclepias tuberosa
We recommend this milkweed for moist or wet soils. It can do well in naturally dry gardens or habitats that are regularly watered.
Common Milkweed
Asclepias syriaca
We recommend this species of milkweed for feeding voracious caterpillars. The large leaves help grow big, healthy butterflies and keep well in the fridge.
Tropical Milkweed
Asclepias curassavica
We recommend this species of milkweed to help supplement the native milkweeds in the early spring and early fall.
Hairy Balls Milkweed
Gomphocarus physocarpus
We recommend this species of milkweed for dry soil, and full blazing sun locations. It helps provide food for caterpillars in the late summer into fall.
