Description
Whorled Milkweed is a delicate yet resilient perennial known for its clusters of fragrant white flowers that bloom from early summer to fall. Its fine-textured, needle-like foliage adds an airy, graceful touch to garden spaces. This drought-tolerant plant thrives in a variety of conditions, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping, wildflower gardens, and naturalized landscapes.
A vital nectar source for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, Whorled Milkweed supports pollinators while remaining deer-resistant. It self-seeds and spreads, making it well-suited for mass plantings or meadow-style gardens. However, as parts of the plant are toxic, it should be placed thoughtfully away from pets and children.
