Asclepias

Milkweed

Asclepias incarnata ‘SoulMate’  

Swamp Milkweed

This easily grown floriferous cultivar hosts large, deep rosy pink umbels packed with petite white flowers set in dark red bracts. Sprouting from a sizable taproot, the late-to-emerge-clump of numerous, erect branching stems celebrates vibrant-looking, mildly fragrant blooms.

Selected from the wild species that inhabits Missouri’s swamps and wet meadows, ‘Soulmate’ thrives surprisingly well in drier sites and can escort

Baptisia ‘Solar Flare’ or ornamental grasses like Molinia or Panicum.

Blooms July – August.

Size: 3'–3-1/2' high x 18"–2' wide; hardy to zone 3.

Asclepias tuberosa ‘Hello Yellow’  

Butterfly Weed

A magnet for butterflies, particularly monarchs, this native, drought tolerant perennial premiers sunny yellow blooms. Closely spaced, long slender green leaves whorl their way up a clump of stiff stems crowned with jubilant starlike blossoms held in broad flattened clusters that later manifest decorative seed pods. Exceptional as a cut flower fresh or dried, ‘Hello Yellow’ promises an irresistible, lengthy summertime display in the mixed border, appreciating well drained soil.

Blooms July to mid-September.

Size: 18"–2' high x 2' wide; hardy to zone 4.
