Milkweed Plant

Milkweed Plant (Asclepias Incarnata) is a beautiful flowering perennial with beautiful pink flowers that will grow with minimal care. It requires full sunshine to produce abundant blossoms and thrive anywhere in the U.S.D.A. Plant climate zones 4 to 9.

It is a tall plant with slender stems that can produce lovely flowers. The plant can become as tall as five feet high. They're a North American native species, most famous for their bright and colorful flowers, usually pink but sometimes present as purple or white. Dozens of tiny florets cluster together to form each showy flower head.

They are also crucial to the environment because they are a nectar source for butterflies, particularly monarchs. It is the only nutritional source for their larvae. The plant is essential to its survival.

Unfortunately, some developers considered this plant expendable. As they built cities and suburbs, they removed them and upset the balance. Today, the monarch is a threatened species. If you grow them, you can help save them from extinction.
