Silky Gold Asclepias

This upright, evergreen sub-shrub from South America features narrow, lance-shaped green foliage and stunning clusters of intensely golden-yellow flowers. Reaching up to four feet in height, it serves as a vital host plant for Monarch and Queen butterfly larvae. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing excellent heat and humidity tolerance. Ideal for pollinator gardens, sunny borders, or containers, it readily self-seeds and produces decorative spindle-shaped seed pods.
