Asclepias Solanoana is a rare but spectacular milkweed that sprawls out across the ground as it grows. It is a native to the serpentine talus slopes in California. The goregous flowers start out as red and then open to a pink color with golden tips. This is a host plant for the Monarch butterflies. Other pollinators enjoy its nectar as well.
Common Names: serpentine milkweed, butterfly weed.
Californica Asclepias Plant Care Instructions: Keep the plant well-watered for the first 3-4 weeks after transplanting. After that, only water if the plant starts looking droopy. Deadheading the first flush of flowers promotes additional blooms. If you don't want the plant to self-seed, remove all flowers once they are finished blooming. Plants can be cut back to the ground once they drop their leaves. Spring is a good time to fertilize.
