This milkweed can spread by seeds and rhizomes, making it a great fit for monarch enthusiasts. It’s also a larval host for Monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) while attracting many other pollinators such as bees, wasps, and moths. It blooms in the summer with white and green flowers while going dormant in the winter. It is not edible.
