Milkweed flowers

Milkweed is a hardy flowering perennial known for its rounded clusters of vibrant blooms in shades of orange, pink, red, purple, and white. Flowering late spring through summer, it thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-9 and grows best in full sun with well-drained soil. This resilient plant is especially valued for attracting butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, while serving as the essential host plant for monarch butterfly caterpillars. Its drought tolerance, easy-care nature, and long-lasting flowers make it ideal for pollinator landscapes, adding both ecological value and striking seasonal color.
