As a milkweed collector, I like this plant alot. It is one of the few Asclepias species that trails along the ground. So far it has been easy to grow for me, but I only have first year growth. It requires full sun to grow naturally, otherwise it grows "leggy"... not sure if that is an appropriate word for a trailing plant.

I'm in a zone 5B, so I'll find out this winter how it handles being inside all winter.
