Anglepod Milkvine is a perennial, herbaceous, climbing vine native to the southeastern United States, including North Carolina. It is in the milkweed family (Apocynaceae) and most often found in mesic to wet natural areas, borders with brush or some trees, and along thickets. It is a long-lived vine that will trail or climb up to 10 feet, but needs trees or other structures to climb on. There are two varieties of this plant; Gonolobus suberosus var. granulatus found west of the Appalachian mountains and Gonolobus suberosus var. suberosus found in, and to the east of, the Appalachians. Anglepod Milkvine will grow in full sun or partial shade in soil that is moist and sandy, but not flooded, sending out tendrils from the tips of its stems to climb on trees, bushes, or other structures. Diseases, Insect Pests, and Other Plant Problems: No significant problems.
