Common milkweed likes full sun but may tolerate some shade. It will grow in a wide range of soils including clayey, rocky or sandy and prefers good drainage. The water requirements range from dry to medium moisture.

Asclepias syriaca is best suited for meadows, naturalized areas, prairies or butterfly gardens. Most gardeners would not want to put this plant in a border or an ornamental garden due to its underground spreading.

It can hybridize with Showy milkweed (Asclepias speciosa) if they are grown in the same area.

To germinate Common Milkweed seeds, the seeds will first need to be cold stratified. This makes it a great candidate for fall/winter sowing. The seeds need to be cold stratified for at least 30 days but 60 days of stratification may improve germination rates even further. Plant these seeds about 1/8 of an inch deep.

Seedlings should start appearing in a week or two but germination can be slow and may continue over several additional weeks.
