Description / Asclepias Green Beauty Milkweed

Add unique beauty to your garden with Asclepias Green Beauty, a native milkweed that grows 24 to 36 inches tall and blooms from late spring to early summer. Its clusters of green flowers with purple hoods are a vital nectar source for butterflies, while its wide leaves nourish monarch caterpillars. The plant produces attractive seedpods after flowering, which are perfect for dried arrangements or seasonal decor.

Part of the Asclepias viridis species, also called milkweed or butterfly weed, Green Beauty is a cold-hardy hardy perennial (Zones 4-9) with a compact, bushy habit. It's perfect for butterfly gardens, native plant beds, or rock gardens and can even be grown in containers. Left undisturbed, it self-seeds freely, making it a great choice for erosion control, naturalizing, or vibrant borders.

Green Beauty milkweed is low-maintenance and highly adaptable, thriving in full sun with average, well-draining soil. It performs well in dry or rocky soils and tolerates drought, making it an excellent choice for challenging locations. Naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, this butterfly weed is a durable and beautiful addition to any garden.

Plant Green Beauty milkweed roots in spring, spacing them 12 to 16 inches apart and burying them 1½ to 2 inches deep. butterfly weed plants prefer to remain undisturbed, so select a permanent planting location.

Native to fields and prairies across the southeastern U.S., milkweed is eco-friendly and easy to grow. Its flowers attract pollinators, its foliage supports monarch butterflies, and its presence in the garden promotes biodiversity and sustainable practices.

Sap may cause skin irritation.
