Green Milkweed

Spider Milkweed, Asclepias viridis

I found this wildflower (also called Spider Milkweed) blooming in the prairie last week. It’s easy to overlook because it’s short and has green flowers. Milkweeds are the host for monarch butterflies.


The other milkweeds we have at the Prairie Garden Trust (PGT) are: Common Milkweed, Whorled Milkweed, Swamp Milkweed, Butterflyweed and Purple Milkweed.
