Description

Asclepias syriaca, known as Common Milkweed, is a perennial plant that reaches up to five feet in height, featuring broad leaves and clusters of fragrant pink to purplish flowers that bloom from June to August. This hardy plant thrives in a range of soil types, including sandy and clay soils, and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance addition to any garden. Ideal for USDA Hardiness Zones 3-9, Common Milkweed requires moderate watering and can be easily propagated by seeds, which benefit from cold stratification before planting.

Beyond its visual appeal, Asclepias syriaca plays a crucial role in supporting wildlife, particularly as a host plant for Monarch butterfly caterpillars. Its flowers attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, contributing to the biodiversity of your garden. By planting Common Milkweed, gardeners can actively participate in the conservation of the Monarch butterfly, whose populations have been threatened in recent years. This plant is perfect for pollinator gardens, naturalized areas, and garden borders, offering both ecological benefits and ornamental beauty.
