Asclepias viridiflora is an erect to ascending herb up to 50 cm tall, with distinctive greenish-white flowers. The pods lack the warts and tubercules common on other species of Asclepias.
The seeds of Asclepias viridiflora are rare to find, and are very limited.
As these plants are not as tall as many other milkweed, they can easily be blended into urban landscapes. We also offer many other types of Milkweed! View all seeds and combine shipping.

After the stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
