Asclepias asperula --Antelopehorn Milkweed--

There are two primary native asclepias to Travis and surrounding counties. With little variation, they are Antelopehorn(asperula) & Green Antelopehorn(viridis). A RARE monarch must! Plant native milkweed seedlings in ground asap. Water in thoroughly and allow to dry between watering; repeat for approximately 2 months. Preferably planted into native soil or a well drained mixed soil. It is highly recommended that they are not planted into pots. Planting in a wild garden, under established low growing perennials would be ideal. Just think ‘Sandy clay, on the side of the road growing beneath towering native grasses’. That’s where native baby seedlings it thrive.
