This stunning native wildflower is wonderful for wildlife gardens! Monarch butterflies rely on it for larval food and nectar while Orioles use the dead stems for nesting materials. This beauty is found from Minnesota to BC and south to Texas and California. This pretty milkweed can be found growing along creeks or in drier situations such as meadows and roadsides. The entire 3-4' plant is densely tomentose and produces its complex pink-white flowers in late summer. This vigorous grower spreads from underground runners, a natural choice for raingardens! S/D-M-W
