Description: Civano Desert Milkweed is a specially selected form of Asclepias subulata prized for clean, upright form and silvery-green, leafless stems. Native to arid regions of the Southwest, this drought-loving perennial thrives in a hot, dry climate with minimal irrigation. Pale yellow to cream-colored flowers bloom spring through fall and are a vital nectar source for butterflies, especially monarchs. Narrow, upright habit makes it ideal for modern xeriscapes, wildlife gardens, and low-maintenance borders. Drought tolerance once established. Deer-resistant and tolerant of poor soils, it adds both structure and ecological value to Austin landscapes.
