Asclepias fascicularis 'Narrowleaf Milkweed'

Asclepias fascicularis, or 'Narrowleaf Milkweed', is a vital plant for supporting pollinators, especially the beloved Monarch Butterfly population. It serves as a host plant where Monarchs lay their eggs, and its leaves provide essential food for the developing caterpillars.

The plant also attracts bees and other beneficial insects with its clusters of pale pink and white flowers, promoting biodiversity in gardens and natural landscapes.

As a drought-tolerant native plant, Asclepias fascicularis thrives in dry soils, reducing the need for irrigation and conserving water. Additionally, it helps restore native ecosystems, making it an ideal choice for habitat restoration and pollinator-friendly gardening projects.
