Warm and bright umbels of yellow blooms float atop upright to reclining stems with lance shaped leaves. Flowers emerge late spring through summer, just be sure to remember where you've planted this herbaceous perennial year to year! Asclepias tuberosa are drought-tolerant un-fussy plants keen on full sun and popular with pollinators. Take care not to overwater and this milkweed will tolerate a variety of poor soils and tough sites. Clump forming (1-2 ft), may self-sow from seed if pods are not collected -- new seedlings can take a couple of years to set blooms. The dried pods are popular in cut arrangements and can look beautiful left in the garden as well.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
