Pinewoods/Sandhill Milkweed
Scientific name: Asclepias humistrata
Sandhill milkweed is a perennial native to Alachua County that dies back in Winter. It has a tendency to lean on its side. It likes sun and soil that is somewhat moist to soil that experiences very long very dry periods. Flowers are white and light purple. It is a larval host for monarch and queen butterflies. The taproot can go very deep to help it survive in drier, sandier soils, so it might be best to transplant while they are little.
Size: assorted small pots
