Product Details

Silky Gold Tropical Milkweed

Asclepias curassavica 'Silky Gold'

Silky Gold Tropical Milkweed lifts its color above the landscape, carrying rounded clusters of golden-yellow flowers at the ends of tall, leafy stems. Individual blooms have the intricate shape typical of milkweed, giving the clusters plenty of detail when viewed up close. Its narrow foliage and open branching keep the plant feeling light despite its height, allowing it to mix easily among other flowering plants. It reaches 3 to 4 feet tall and spreads 1 to 2 feet wide at maturity.

  • Flowering perennial
  • Golden-yellow flower clusters
  • Upright, open growth habit
  • Fast growth rate
  • Excellent for butterfly beds, borders, and pollinator plantings

Silky Gold Tropical Milkweed grows best in full sun and moist but well-drained soil, though established plants can tolerate some dry conditions. Hardy in USDA zones 8 through 11, it brings bright seasonal color and an important nectar source for butterflies and other pollinators to Texas landscapes.
