Funastrum clausum, commonly called White Twinevine, is an evergreen perennial vine in the milkweed family. Since it is part of the milkweed family, it will host monarch and queen butterflies here in Central Florida. It will host soldier butterflies if planted in their native range. Throughout the entire year it can bloom small beautiful white flowers. Can be grown in moist soil or in pots trained on an arbor, run along a fence, or left to go free and wild. It is a prolific grower so give it some space!
Be careful when pruning this plant. Like other milkweeds, it has a milky sap inside. When pruning, the sap is likely to leak out of the plant onto you and your equipment. While it is generally not any harm, it is very sticky.
Can be grown in full sun or part shade.
Enjoyes a variety of soil conditions as long as soil does not completely dry out.
Natural range in Florida includes from Central Florida south to the keys.
Can be grown in zones 9B through 10.
