Known for its large, fragrant pink star-shaped blooms, this native perennial is a magnet for butterflies—especially Monarchs. Not only does it provide essential habitat for Monarch caterpillars, but it also attracts bees, hummingbirds, and other beneficial pollinators.

Showy Milkweed thrives in a variety of conditions and is perfect for wildflower gardens, meadows, and naturalized landscapes. Asclepias speciosa features silvery-green foliage and striking flower clusters that make it a standout addition to any planting.

Why You'll Love It:

  • Vital host plant for Monarch butterflies
  • Beautiful clusters of pink, star-like flowers
  • Drought-tolerant once established
  • Supports bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds
  • Great for native gardens and pollinator habitats

Planting & Care:
Sow seeds outdoors in fall or early spring. Cold stratification improves germination. Prefers full sun and well-drained soil but adapts to a range of conditions. Plants can grow 2–5 feet tall and spread over time, creating a natural, wild look.

Perfect for gardeners who want to make a difference while enjoying a stunning display of blooms—plant Showy Milkweed and help support pollinators all season long!
