The milkweed plant is an upright specimen that may reach 2 to 6 feet. Leaves grow from a thick stalk and are large and green, taking on a reddish color as the plant matures.
Tropical milkweed is a perennial only in zones 8-11. It is originally from South America but has naturalized in our tropical zones. Elsewhere in the US and Canada it is grown as an annual because it is a fast grower and flowers all summer and into the fall.
