Asclepias

Asclepias is a perennial must at Florage Farms, we grow three colors of asclepias: white, orange, and yellow. Asclepias is also called butterfly milkweed, and these beautiful flower clusters attracted gorgeous honeybees and monarch butterflies all over the farm. It is a strong bloom with a long life, and has been a favorite amongst our florists for many years.

White asclepias is similar to the traditional orange, but is a different genus that blooms later in the summer and has taller stems. White asclepias, also called swamp milkweed, is named for the Greek God of medicine, Asklepios.
