Also known as Green Milkweed Vine, Netted Milkvine or Net Vein Milkvine.

Pearl Milkweed Vine is a dainty plant with small but intricate, green, star-shaped flowers with an iridescent pearl-like center. Flowers are followed by a large seedpod. Pearl Milkweed Vine dies back to the ground every winter but comes back reliably. It does well in a woodland edge location with well-draining soils.
