Description

Make sure you allow for space when considering this plant as it can reach a height of 5′! That being said, the pink star shaped clusters of flowers are indeed showy so it is well worth making room for! Milkweeds are a staple for many butterfly species and the unripe seed pods are edible when prepared correctly despite the rest of the plant being toxic to humans and many other creatures. It will grow in sun to part shade as long as there is ample moisture. Just be sure and careful when planting as they dislike their roots being disturbed when transplanted.
