It tends to be leggy, with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground, and should be underplanted with lower-growing perennials. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"NetPS-PlantPGPara2\"\u003eThis plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It is quite adaptable, prefering to grow in average to wet conditions, and will even tolerate some standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is quite intolerant of urban pollution, therefore inner city or urban streetside plantings are best avoided. This is a selection of a native North American species. It can be propagated by division; however, as a cultivated variety, be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"27 VN 25","offers":[{"title":"5.5\"G","offer_id":6282110402588,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0205\/4654\/products\/Asclepia_-_Cinderella.jpg?v=1531769306","url":"https:\/\/www.calgaryplants.com\/products\/asclepias-cinderella-milkweed","provider":"Calgary Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
