Asclepias viridis, commonly known as Spider Milkweed or Green Milkweed, is a native North American species with a long ecological history tied to grasslands and prairies of the central and southern United States. Its distinctive greenish-white flowers arranged in rounded clusters give it a spider-like appearance, attracting a wide array of pollinators, especially butterflies, and serving as an essential host plant for monarch caterpillars. Spider Milkweed forms a deep taproot, allowing it to thrive in dry, rocky, or sandy soils, and its thick, upright stems bear broad, smooth leaves that take on a bluish hue. Appreciated for its drought tolerance, wildlife value, and unique ornamental look, A. viridis has become an increasingly popular choice in native and prairie-style plantings.
Western Sand Milkweed (Asclepias arenaria), also known as Sandhill Milkweed or Dwarf Milkweed, is a hardy, drought-tolerant species native to the sandy plains and prairies of the central and southwestern United States, where it has long supported pollinators and played a role in Indigenous plant knowledge. This milkweed forms upright stems with soft, velvety, blue-green leaves and produces clusters of pale greenish-white flowers that are highly attractive to monarchs, bees, and other beneficial insects. Adapted to arid, shifting soils, it thrives in full sun, well-drained sandy or loamy ground, and low-water conditions, making it ideal for xeriscapes and native plant gardens. For best results, stratify seeds before sowing, plant them shallowly, and avoid overwatering—Western Sand Milkweed prefers lean soils and rewards minimal care with strong growth and prolific blooms.

Its narrow, grass-like leaves form a tidy basal clump, giving it a clean, architectural look ideal for small gardens or rocky sites.
