Showy milkweed asclepias speciosa starter plant. Host plant for monarch butterflies. Flowers are attractive to other butterflies and pollinators. Native to western US east to Michigan. Sun loving and for medium to dryer soils. Many native milkweeds are slow growing their first few seasons and need to be kept an eye on so as not to be out competed or munched on by bunnies.
These are one year old plants that are up and growing for the 2023 season
All of our plants are grown in biodegradable fabric pots. The containers are around 4"x4 1/2" May be planted in the pot or removed . With these plants, I suggest tearing the sides of the farbric pot for easier root penetration if left on when planting.
