Description

Landscape Uses, Planting and Care
  • An excellent butterfly garden plant, also appreciated by hummingbirds. Flower spires make great cuts for floral arrangements. Asclepias are also favored by wild and domestic bees, and attract and support many species of beneficial predatory insects. A great choice for planting in the landscape and vegetable garden.
