Scarlet milkweed is an erect, evergreen perennial subshrub, often grown as an annual. Like most milkweeds, it has opposite leaves and milky sap.

It gets 3-4 ft. tall ,the flowers are clusters of orange and red.

It blooms continuously until fall, it has spindle shaped seed pods, 3-4 in long, that eventually split open to release little flat seeds that drift away on silky parachutes.

Hardy in zones 8-11

Grown as annual in all other zones.

Blooms first year from seed.

allowed to reseed they will come back..I had some volunteers this year. YAY!!

All milkweeds are poisonous if ingested, and the milky sap is a skin irritant.

Questions & Comments

Hardy in Zones 8B - 11. Scarlet milkweed remains evergreen in zones 9B-11, but if it does freeze to the ground, it usually comes back in spring. In cooler climates it can be grown as an annual.
I have them return here in Ohio zone 5. where it is 7 degrees tonight.
