{"product_id":"1-gallon-tropical-milkweed","title":"Tropical Milkweed","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsclepias curassavica, commonly known as Tropical Milkweed, thrives in USDA zones 8-11 and reaches 2-4 feet tall with a 1-2 foot spread. This Central and South American native demands full sun and produces striking red and yellow blooms from spring through fall. As a critical monarch butterfly host plant, it supports the complete lifecycle of these iconic pollinators. Low-maintenance and versatile, it excels in butterfly gardens, mixed borders, and container plantings. For optimal health, the LSU AgCenter recommends cutting plants back to 6 inches in June and October, then disposing of trimmings to minimize OE (Ophryocystis elektroscirrha) spore transmission and reduce butterfly congregation on foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cane Row Nursery","offers":[{"title":"4 Inch","offer_id":42520004984903,"sku":"S559102","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"6 inch","offer_id":42568430846023,"sku":"810075344486","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":42520004526151,"sku":"S559101","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/3517\/1911\/files\/download_c7452c10-aae8-4060-a844-41d49d83fdcf.jpg?v=1770926596","url":"https:\/\/canerownursery.org\/products\/1-gallon-tropical-milkweed","provider":"Cane Row Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
