Amsonia is a member of the Apocynaceae family. The common name given to this genus is Blue Star. When flowering, you know why as it has lots of blue star shaped flowers. When flowering is finished, Amsonia remains a lovely plant in the garden & in fall, turns a glorious yellow.

A word about dormancy - many spring & early summer plants go totally dormant the rest of the year - the roots even rot away until you only have a small tuber or corm. So, it is best to order these for spring delivery unless you just have a lot of faith.

Asarum canadense Wild ginger

Native to woodlands in the eastern part of the U.S. , Wild ginger is a neat deciduous groundcvoer with interesting brown flowers (little Brown Jugs).

Asclepias belong to the family Asclepidaceae, also known as the milkweed family. The alkaloids found in most of the species are what make them distasteful to most creatures. These very alkaloids are what Monarch caterpillars absorb to help protect them from birds because the bird becomes very ill after eating a Monarch caterpillar or butterfly. The Monarch butterfly can only lay eggs on milkweeds. With the declining habitat & destruction of milkweeds, combined with the destruction of the winter roosting grounds in Mexico, it is a wonder there are any Monarchs left. Now with the genetically altered corn that is being sold by the big chemical companies which kills Monarchs with its pollen, I can foresee the sad day when Monarch butterflies are just a memory. In the meantime, plant some Asclepias for them! All of the following milkweeds are native.

Asclepias amplexicaulis Clasping milkweed / Curly milkweed

Arkansas Native Sun Zones 4-9 (at least)
An interesting milkweed with flowers of pink, green & purple.. It travels underground to pop up new stems. One of the earliest milkweeds to show up & flower.

The butterflies love the flowers & monarch butterflies lay their eggs on them.

Arkansas native $12.00 Quart

Part shade Zones 6(5)-9 Family: Asclepidaceae
This milkweed is fascinating. Not only do the pods hang down instead of standing up, there is no fluff in the pods. The reasons for this interesting adaptation are: since the seeds drop into water, they don’t need the fluff as a carrier to blow the seed far & near, At the same time, they don’t need to stand up straight, but rather drop their seed into the water to float away. Moist soils required. Monarch host plant. Attractuve to Butterflies and hummingbirds

Common milkweed has very large leaves & the stalks can easily reach 5 feet once established. One thing to remember about common milkweed is that is wanders around from where you plant it.

Asclepias viridis Green milkweed

$ 15.00 Quart
Arkansas native Sun Zones: 4-9 Family: Asclepidaceae
I am so pleased to offer green milkweed. It is seldom found at any nurseries, mail order or otherwise. I scrambled up the bank on the roadside of I-40 & exit 55 to collect the seed (fortunately high enough that the mowers hadn't gotten to them.) These are a wonderful milkweed - the flowers are green it's true but they are simply beautiful. A very tough milkweed which is happy on dry roadside - it is mowed by the highway dept regularly but it keeps trying. Unfortunatly, persistant mowing has killed it out near Russellville and Fort Smith on the interstate. Please plant Green milkweed when received, don't try to hold for increased growth and don't pot them up into larger size - they are very subject to overwatering. Larval food plant for Monarchs & Queens.

Asters belong to the family Asteraceae. You will begin to be hearing them with different botanical names - PROBABLY NOT BY THIS NURSERY, But I did wish to inform you that the botanists have been at it again & some of the new names are almost unpronounceable. (Such a Eurybia and Symphyotrichum) Anyway, most asters are fall bloomers, although some bloom in spring & summer. They bring much nectar for butterflies, provide seeds for winter birds. Some thrive in dry poor soil while others like their feet wet. There is an aster for almost every circumstance - full sun or light shade.
