Graceful and resilient, Narrowleaf Milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis) thrives in dry, sunny landscapes. Its nectar-rich blooms feed pollinators and provide the only host plant Monarch caterpillars need to survive.

Hello, little caterpillars! So glad I planted this milkweed early last year. It’s important to get milkweed that’s native to your area.
