About This

• Supports monarch butterflies: Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) is the primary host plant for monarch butterfly caterpillars and provides the leaves required for their complete life cycle. The fragrant flowers also supply nectar for adult monarchs, bees, hummingbirds, and many beneficial pollinators, making this native perennial one of the most valuable additions to butterfly gardens and wildlife habitats.
• Beautiful native perennial: Produces large clusters of fragrant pink to mauve flowers that bloom throughout summer above attractive green foliage. Plants typically reach 3 to 5 feet tall with a spread of 2 to 3 feet, creating an eye-catching display in native gardens, prairie landscapes, meadows, roadsides, and naturalized areas.
• Easy to grow: Thrives in full sun and adapts to a wide variety of soil types, including sandy, loamy, rocky, and average garden soils. Once established, its deep root system provides excellent drought tolerance while requiring very little maintenance compared to many ornamental flowering plants.
• Excellent for pollinator gardens: Nectar-rich blooms attract butterflies, honey bees, native bees, hummingbirds, moths, and other beneficial insects throughout the blooming season. An excellent choice for restoring native habitats while increasing biodiversity in home landscapes.
• Returns every year: Hardy perennial plants emerge each spring after winter dormancy and continue expanding over time. Mature plants may naturally spread by underground rhizomes, gradually creating impressive colonies that provide increasingly valuable wildlife habitat.
