Native White Milkweed (Asclepias perennis) has similar soil preferences to other milkweed species, but it thrives in slightly wetter conditions. Here are its soil requirements:

Soil Type: It grows best in moist, well-drained soils. It can tolerate a variety of soil types, including loamy, sandy, and even slightly clay soils, as long as they are not waterlogged. It is typically found in areas with more consistently moist soil, such as near wetlands or the edges of streams and ponds.

pH Level: White Milkweed prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil, with an ideal pH range of 6.0 to 7.5.

Moisture: This species prefers consistently moist soil but can tolerate periods of dryness once established. However, it will perform best in wetland or riparian conditions with regular moisture.

Soil Fertility: While not overly picky about fertility, it benefits from soils that are rich in organic matter. Well-drained, fertile soils will support better growth.

In summary, Native White Milkweed does best in moist, well-drained soils with moderate fertility, and it thrives in areas with consistent moisture, like wetlands or streamside locations.
