Milkweeds: a look at 20 different species of Asclepias

- Twenty of our North American native Milkweeds are cultivated and propagated in the native plant facility, where we can track their progress and find ways to better approach their needs. We intend to create breeding projects that result in additional plants being created and more seed to be produced.
Doing exact thing this weekend. Had 800 seedlings come up!🤭. Cutting cans/bottles/containers and my soil is resting. Potting them up this week! Yours look FABULOUS!
I didn’t realize how many different varieties there were and they’re all so different. I enjoyed seeing their adaptations
It’s such a diverse family with even trees in some parts of the world. I love them so much haha
Yeah milkweed is quite diverse, my new favourite is A subulata. It’s easy to grow from seed and does well in sand.
Great video 👍
I'm trying to identify a plant on my buddies farm. Looks just like the first one. Thank you for putting it in your thumbnail.
I bought some seeds from a local nursery. I stratified them in the fridge. I now have at least 2 types established in the backyard.
7:43 I love this one a lot
Excellent video with so many varieties! Thank you.👍 One request please, how about another follow up video showing them in bloom, & how long was each seed variety “Cold Stratified” before planting & what temperature was your greenhouse when they were germinating, do you alter the temperature after they sprout?
Thanks

I've got a few videos of these milkweeds in bloom already made (pre-edited) that I should post soon. Unfortunately these are so sporadic blooming and numerous that I would love to do a video on each one, but it may be easier to edit several clips together, and then voice over them.
Lol, it's been a difficult decision!
Definitely check out Asclepias Facebook group. There I and others post updates and bloom photos of these species!
@@patrickmahon524 I don't do Facebook. Did you ever do that video
@@michellebarnhill5130
I didn't, but I have photographed and documented many of the species (unfortunately) on FB
Доброго дня ,какая прелесть🌷👍
Cool video! Are y’all still growing these?
As someone who wants to grow them for Monarch/Queen butterflies most milkweeds seem completely lame with tiny leaves that can't handle the voracious appetite of the caterpillars. I really wish the common milkweed would grow in Florida, but I do have some giant milkweed and it can handle the appetite of these caterpillars.
Yeah some southern milkweed species are quite small. Usually it’s best to have multiple plants.
Yeah, down in FL we relied heavily on Asc. curassavica (Tropical Milkweed), but I've played with a couple alternates that could be tried down south.
Asc. angustifolia (Arizona Milkweed)
Asc. nivea (Caribbean Milkweed)
Shouldn't you use swamp milkweed? I believe that is the native , most tolerant and productive for Florida
Where in Florida are you
@@hillslide Central, between Orlando and Daytona.
Neat.
If you have a video about A. Variegata (Red Ringed Milkweed) that would be awesome!
I secured seed for this species, and unfortunately only 1 seed out of 100 was viable. To make matters worse, the seedling that is growing is not performing very well, so I believe there was some sort of genetic incompatability issue in the seed.
We are trying to secure more seed of this species this summer, since it is a Missouri native we can introduce back.
It has died or died back. I'm going to check the roots in about a week and see what's going on.
Poor genetics and vigor do affect success in wildflowers in cultivation, and moreso in some Milkweeds!
I've since grown this species from root divisions, with immense success. This is my first time growing them outside in Zone 6a, they immediately responded well to transplanting, so hoping they overwinter well. Their native range kinda peters out up north, but many of these exclusively southern species actually seem to perform BETTER north of their ranges (i.e., Torreya taxifolia).
Do the humistrata do that much better in a 3 gallon?
love it
are you still growing these?

How did you cultivate Asclepias humistrata?
If I recall, I germed very wet on 75F degree heat mat, transplanted from deep cell plug (38 DCP) to a 5gal plastic pot. Bottom lined with rock, and like 80% sand 20% peat moss mixture, topped with sand. Worked well. In 8 months from seed, Asc. humistrata bloomed!
@@patrickmahon524 I'll definitely share this with my local native nurseries here in Florida. It's an incredibly valuable species here because it's the first milkweed to come back after winter. Thank you!
@TheDeftZeppelin
I had tried to work with some of the FL nurseries and the FL Native Plant Society to help cultivate and produce seed for many of these obscure Milkweed. The only thing we couldn't get: was germplasm. Nobody would share or sell.
We successfully cultivated over 36 species of Asclepias (not to mention working with several endangered species projects), but for some reason couldn't be trusted with the other FL milkweed seed?
Is poke milkweed easy to grow?
Yes, seems to be a very good choice species for high or low light in Zones 7 and colder!
They germinate readily, and seem to grow much like Common Milkweed. They may benefit from moist soils.
@@patrickmahon524 how long does it take for them to flower from seed? I’m thrilled to hear butterfly weed takes two months to bloom from seed if it gets enough moisture!
@@zachduperron8543 I think, like Common Milkweed, it may take a solid year of growing, and 1-2yrs until flowering. There may be no way to shortcut this species to flowering maturity, than like that A. humistrata (which in think was 8mo from seed, 3 growth cycles).
I'd recommend early season germination, and then planting out seedlings of 3-4mo of age in a final spot. I'd also bet in a few years when it grows a colony, you can begin to take rhizome cuttings and maybe could document the success on those!
Do you sell them?
I'm in the process of planting butterfly weed (tuberosa) And was wondering how long it'll take until it blooms. A lot of sources say 2-3 years, how long did the one in the video take?
I've tried to correct the Wiki page, but the correction gets deleted. We've gotten Asc. tuberosa from seed to bloom in as little as 2 months from seed, 3 months is average. It must be grown on a mist bench with rootzone heat to get it that fast.
Most of the mass-propped Asc. tuberosa we produce though blooms within 6mo from seed.
@@patrickmahon524I was surprised and happy to see that my orange milkweed had a second flush of flowers to probably finish this summer and season! 🎉
I transplanted common milkweed seedlings in a homemade self-watering bucket last year and I was surprised it picked up in 2024! Either due to the plant’s tough resilience and/or that I sheltered it in the shed for the harsh 5a winter. 🤔
It didn’t flower at all in 2024, hopefully in 2025. It also multiplied to ten plants and I fear its standard 5 gallon bucket will get small for that gang. The roots must be a balled mess. That variant is hard to transplant too…
That was my cool milkweed story. 😌
Do you have any tips for growing for A. Hallii, A. Unicialis , A. Stenophylla or A. Subverticillata ?
A. stenophylla, A. viridiflora, and A. subverticillata can be grown similarly in containers with peat + perlite with added sand. A. subverticillata is unusual in that it seems it can never die: it can be without water for months and grow back, and can be inundated with water and grow profusely. It also is very rhizomatous, forming new growth on adventurous roots out the bottom. Flowers in its first year, unlike A. verticillata.
A. hallii was not a strong grower in containers, but was in the same substrate I used for Asc. vestita and A. californica (see other video).
A. unicialis I never got seed material of.
Do they all spread through rhizomes?
No. Some lack rhizomes and instead form a taproot. Some lack a taproot and have a simple fibrous root system.
what's the name of 6:18?
Asclepias exaltata
Poke Milkweed
