How to grow common milkweed
Asclepias syriaca
When to plant common milkweed
Grow in average, well-drained soil in full sun; it tolerates poor or dry soils but not shade. It propagates easily by seed sown in spring or by root cuttings and will naturalize, taking up considerable space.
Common Milkweed is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
