Description
Common Milkweed is a must-have perennial for supporting Monarch butterflies in Massachusetts gardens. This native plant produces fragrant pink flower clusters in midsummer, which are excellent for cutting and attract a variety of pollinators. Its tall, upright growth and gray-green foliage add structure to sunny borders or wild areas.
Spreading by rhizomes, Common Milkweed is best planted where it can naturalize freely. It thrives in well-drained soil and requires little care beyond early spring cleanup. Common Milkweed is essential for Monarch conservation efforts and brings ecological value to any Massachusetts garden.
