Showy Milkweed

Big fragrant blooms the butterflies adore and honeybees and bumblebees find the nectar irresistible too. A pollinator magnet you simply must grow in your sunny garden, it is a Native American perennial with so many merits. A stout, well-branched plant, airy and beautifully textured. This is not a container plant; it grows a long taproot, so try to plant it where you know you want it to grow, because transplanting is difficult.

Growing:

  • Perennial – zones 3-9
  • 2-3 ft. tall
  • 2-3 ft. spread
  • Full Sun
  • Native
