Asclepias (uh-SKLEEP-ee-us), more commonly known as Milkweed, is a hardy perennial plant celebrated for its vital role in supporting pollinators, particularly Monarch butterflies. This native plant bears clusters of tiny, star-shaped flowers, growing in clusters, in pastel hues of orange, pink, red, or white. Asclepias adds coy color and eye-catching texture to gardens, borders, and naturalized areas. Beyond its beauty, Asclepias serves as the essential host plant for Monarch caterpillars, providing a nursery for them to lay their eggs, as well as nourishing nectar for the emerging adult butterflies. Asclepias thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, while its deep roots make it exceptionally drought-tolerant, perfect for low-maintenance, wildlife-friendly, water-wise gardens. These resilient perennial plants are also deer-resistant, making them a reliable choice for gardeners looking to support pollinators with minimal upkeep.
