This delicate-looking wildflower from the western United States is extremely drought-tolerant, trouble-free and very important for wildlife. Clusters of intricate, purplish-pink-tinted, white flowers sit on stalks above the2-4' clumps of long, narrow, threadlike leaves. This is an incredibly important plant, as Asclepias is the only larval food for the Monarch butterfly. This Asclepias provides nectar for other butterflies and hummingbirds and it is also a commonly used nesting material for birds. S/M-D
