Dwarf Milkweed
(Asclepias ovalifolia)

One of the favourite foods of the Monarch butterfly. Fragrant white flowers tinged with pink bloom mid-summer. Interesting seed pod with large brown seeds on gossamer silk threads. Up to 16" (38 cm) in height. Dry to medium soils in full sun to part shade. Start a butterfly garden with this and others such as Swamp & Whorled Milkweed. With these plants in your garden, Monarchs will find you, and you'll be helping two threatened species to survive.
