Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) is a standout perennial plant with an upright form, reaching heights of 24 to 48 inches. It is best recognized for its ball-shaped clusters of lavender-pink flowers that bloom throughout June to August. Not only are these flowers exquisitely fragrant, but they also serve as a vital resource for pollinators. The plant is especially crucial as a larval host for Monarch butterflies, providing a necessary habitat for their lifecycle. Thriving in full sun and various soil types, including clay, loam, and sand, Common Milkweed adapts well to dry conditions. While it enhances perennial borders with its strong architectural presence, it can be an aggressive spreader, so thoughtful spacing and management are recommended in garden settings.
