Asclepias speciosa
Showy Milkweed

• Similar to common milkweed, but less aggressive, this native perennial grows about 3 feet tall and produces fragrant pink flowers in summer.

• These blooms are followed by long green seed pods that crack open in fall to release silky fluff.

• Prefers full sun and dry soil.

• Milkweed is the only food source for monarch caterpillars.

• Drought tolerant and deer resistant.
