Antelope Horns milkweed flower. Asclepias asperula supports the Monarch Butterfly. Antelope Horns is a weird milkweed from the desert mountains. Antelope horns grows from the Southern California desert mountains across to Arkansas and up into Kansas.
(If you order these during their dormancy period they ship very well but will arrive as a bag of soil with some roots in it.)
We do not use any pesticides, including neonicotinoids, on our milkweeds. Our milkweeds are safe for both monarch larvae and adult pollinators.
For the best results, we recommend selecting a milkweed species that is native to your local area. You can find helpful information on the Xerces Society's milkweed map [[Which milkweed species is correct for me?](https://www.xerces.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/CA-milkweed-guide_XercesSoc6.pdf)] or by contacting Penny directly.
Please note that we often have a wider selection of milkweed species available for purchase in person on Saturdays than what is listed online for shipping. You can check the "in-production" column on our inventory page [[Las Pilitas Nursery Inventory](https://www.laspilitas.com/stores/santa-margarita/plant-products/listing)] for current availability or email me for more information Penny@laspilitas.com
