Asclepias, Milkweed Silky Gold

Silky Gold Tropical Milkweed features unusual orange flat-top recurved flowers with gold overtones at the ends of the stems from mid summer to late fall, which emerge from distinctive yellow flower buds. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its narrow leaves emerge chartreuse in spring, turning green in color with curious grayish green undersides and tinges of chartreuse the rest of the year.
