Description
Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) is a native perennial and the essential larval food plant for monarch butterflies. Adult monarchs lay their eggs on milkweed, and the flowers also feed many other insect species.
These seeds were collected locally. Common Milkweed spreads by seed and underground stems and can form a colony.
