Common Milkweed

Asclepias syrianca. Asclepias Syriaca, commonly known as Common Milkweed, is a perennial wildflower native to North America, renowned for its unique pink fragrant flowers that attract pollinators, especially monarch butterflies. These clusters of star-shaped blooms are followed by large, fluffy seed pods, which are a source of food for many animals and birds. Milkweed thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent addition to native plant gardens, meadows, and pollinator habitats. Beyond its beauty, Asclepias Syriaca is an essential plant for supporting biodiversity, providing a habitat for monarchs during their migratory journey. Its tall stature and dense foliage create a striking visual presence in garden landscapes.
