Milkweed is a native perennial known for its clusters of fragrant, pink, orange, or white flowers that bloom in summer. The plants provide essential habitat for monarch butterflies and other pollinators. Milkweed is ideal for wildflower gardens, pollinator gardens, or naturalized areas, where it can support biodiversity.
