These captivating perennials, native to North America, not only add visual interest to your landscape but also play a vital role in the survival of monarch butterflies. Asclepias, commonly known as milkweed, grows to a height of 2 to 5 feet and features clusters of small, intricate flowers in shades of pink, orange, and white. The lush, green foliage provides a perfect backdrop for the delicate blooms, creating a stunning display in your garden.

As a hardy perennial that thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-9, asclepias is a versatile choice for gardens in a wide range of climates. They prefer full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.
