Common milkweed - Asclepias syriaca
A beautiful and practical Ontario perennial that will not disappoint.
Common milkweed features showy clusters of domed, slightly drooping umbels of pinkish-purple flowers. You will be rewarded with spectacular showings of the sweet-scented floral globes in mid-summer. The unusual flower whorled structure of sepals and petals is esthetically pleasing and exotic looking.
A beacon for monarch butterflies - if you plant it they will come. As a critical species for the monarch butterfly life cycle and a important source of nectar source for many pollinators, this plant is de rigueur for the naturalist's garden. Small urban pockets of milkweed contribute to maintaining butterfly corridors essential to thriving butterfly populations.
A vigorous and easy grower that establishes quickly and spreads steadily, tolerating challenging conditions. Common milkweed has a deep taproot and once established will maintain itself with little maintenance required. Deer, drought and pest resistant, this beauty is real workhorse.
