A nice milkweed for smaller sunny gardens, this is similar to common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) but spreads less quickly. This excellent pollinator plant is listed as threatened in Wisconsin. Like all milkweeds, it is a host plant for monarch butterflies. It also hosts queen butterflies and the milkweed tussock moth.
