Twining milkweed vine from the Mediterranean has handsome shiny green large leaves and clusters of waxy, green and deep burgundy-purple flowers followed by pairs of long narrow seedpods. The pods open to reveal silky threads that eventually aid in seed dispersal. Each little flower is like a small passionflower. A moderate grower that reaches 20 to 30 feet in length, it is not self-supporting, so expect to help it out a little. It is one easy plant, tolerant of many soil types: sandy, loam, clay and tolerant of most light conditions: sun to shade (best in more sun). Deciduous.

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.
