Asclepias fascicularis

Meet the monarch butterfly's best friend! Narrow-leaf milkweed is absolutely essential for supporting monarch populations. This native beauty brings both ecological value and stunning white flower clusters.

The fragrant white flowers bloom in summer, creating incredible displays that monarchs use for nectar while laying eggs on the foliage. The narrow blue-green leaves provide the only food source for monarch caterpillars.

This vital native is perfect for butterfly gardens, naturalized areas, or anywhere you want to support wildlife. It's extremely drought tolerant and self-seeds to create colonies. Save the monarchs with this essential native!
