| Positive | katiepga | On Oct 12, 2009, katiepga from Marietta, GA wrote: This Milkweed volunteered in my landscape five years ago. It has flourished in Marietta, Georgia in zone 7a. I have not attempted to propagate by seed, nor have I attempted to transplant it. It is happy in high shade all day. | | Positive | bigred | On Jun 4, 2008, bigred from Ashdown, AR (Zone 8a) wrote: Found this plant years ago blooming in a very shady area under oaks and pines while doing some volunteer gardening for local Sr.Citzen Center. Asked permisson to collect some seeds and have been growing it ever since. Beautiful plant.
| | Positive | podster | On May 19, 2007, podster from Deep East Texas, TX (Zone 8a) wrote: No full sun for these plants. I found them growing deep in the woods in high timber this spring. The plants are growing in full shade deep in the woods. They only have one stalk which is woody like a small tree and only a single or double bloom at the top. They are definitely a bright spot to come across in the deep woods. | | Neutral | frostweed | On Nov 30, 2006, frostweed from Josephine, Arlington, TX (Zone 8a) wrote: White Milkweed, Redring Milkweed Asclepias variegata is native to Texas and other States. | | Neutral | Magpye | On Sep 28, 2006, Magpye from NW Qtr, AR (Zone 6a) wrote: Habit: Erect herbaceous perennial with milky sap, 3-9 dm.; flowering late May-July; fruiting August, September.
Similar Species: A. variegata, with its compact, waxy, pure white flowers with purple centers, is a distinctive species. In fruit, A. variegata is often confused with both A. purpurascens and A. exaltata, the habitats and ranges of which are similar.
Total Range: CT to n. FL, nw. to OH, w. and s. to MO and e. TX.
(Various) State Status:
* OHIO * 1980-1983: Threatened, 1984-1985: Endangered, 1986-1987: Threatened, 1988 to present: Potentially Threatened.
Additional Comments:
* OHIO * This is an Appalachian species that should be sought in suitable habitats throughout unglaciated southeastern Ohio.
Habitat: Sandy or rocky soil in moist or dry upland woods, thickets and wooded roadsides.
Hazards: Possibly lumbering of woodlands and over-collecting by plant collectors. This is one of Ohio’s most attractive milkweeds and is sometimes dug by wildflower enthusiasts.
Recovery Potential: Probably good due to its tolerance of disturbance and its stout perennial caudex which annually produces herbaceous shoots. |
