Cultivar Notes -
Common Milkweed
Common Milkweed is the sole source of food for Monarch butterfly larvae. Large amounts of lavender buds open to reveal fragrant pink flowers in midsummer. This is one of the easiest and fastest to establish of the milkweeds, as it spreads rapidly by rhizomes and grows readily from seed.
Genus Notes -
Asclepias
Prized perennial for attracting butterflies. Flowers are long lasting and bloom early to mid-summer. Plants do not like to be transplanted and should be allowed to "naturalize".
