Tweedia caerulea A South American milkweed native to southern Brazil and Uruguay, perennial where temps are above freezing, otherwise grown as an annual or in greenhouses, where it thrives best. Its unique hue of turquoise blue flowers borne in small clusters are the prize here, followed by 8-12" long milkweed seed pods that have their own design charm. Full sun and well-drained soil for best results outdoors in cool summer zones, afternoon shade is beneficial where summers are hot. Flowers are delicate. To 40" tall.
