White Swamp Milkweed Plant - 3 Live Starter Plants - Asclepias Perennis - Perennial Florida-Native Wildflower Evergreen
Key item features
- Physical Characteristics: Mature stems commonly reach notable midsummer height, displaying sturdy architectural lines topped with full flower clusters. The foliage forms alternating patterns along the stems, creating a layered appearance that remains attractive until cooler weather. Seed pods develop as the season advances, contributing sculptural structure that enhances its ornamental profile. When grouped with similar perennials, its tall vertical form becomes an anchor point that adds dimensi
- Sunlight Requirements: Milkweed prefers bright, open exposure where sunlight reaches the plant for extended periods of the day. A location offering broad sky visibility allows strong vertical development and encourages full flower cluster formation. When positioned in direct light, stems remain upright and the overall appearance stays dense. Lower light can reduce its signature height and bloom consistency, so selecting an unshaded location ensures ideal form and seasonal performance.
- Watering Guidelines: This plant appreciates consistent moisture during establishment, followed by a reduced schedule once new shoots anchor firmly. Watering should allow moisture to penetrate deeply into the planting area, promoting resilient root extension. After settling in, occasional watering is sufficient, particularly during hot periods when the soil surface dries quickly. Allowing the soil to drain between watering cycles helps maintain proper structure and prevents prolonged saturation t
- Soil Preferences: Milkweed adapts well to ground that drains freely yet retains enough hydration to sustain upright seasonal growth. A well-draining location provides the ideal footing for roots, allowing the plants base to remain balanced. Sandy or loamy soil compositions support dependable performance, especially where airflow around the base is unobstructed. Maintaining a level planting surface helps long-term structure, encourages steady shoot production, and supports the upright stance tha
- Growth Rate and Maintenance: Once established, milkweed displays a steady, returning growth cycle that expands outward gradually. Its upright shoots emerge in a unified vertical pattern each season, forming layered stems that fill space without appearing invasive. Spent bloom clusters can be trimmed to maintain a tidy shape if desired, though leaving them on the stems preserves seasonal texture. As the seasons progress, stems naturally reposition themselves and contribute to a balanced clumping

About this item
Product details
White Swamp Milkweed Asclepias perennis is a graceful, compact perennial recognized for its pure white flowering clusters that offer a distinct contrast to its deep green foliage. It produces upright stems lined with narrow leaves that hold their form through the warm season, creating a refined plant structure that remains visually appealing even before flowering begins. Its bloom clusters form rounded groups of small star-shaped flowers that appear in succession, resulting in a clean and elegant presentation that brightens garden spaces with a subtle yet standout presence.
Asclepias perennis is known for its luminous white blooms, which appear in soft multi-flower clusters rather than bold, saturated tones. These flowers transition into slender pods that maintain architectural interest as they mature. The plant performs well in open planting areas that receive direct light, particularly near borders, edges, or water-adjacent spaces where gentle soil moisture supports continuous shoot development. Its tidy size, refined silhouette, and long-lasting seasonal appearance make White Milkweed a favored selection for spaces where brightness, simplicity, and understated color balance are desired.
