Showy Milkweed (Asclepias speciosa)
- Showy Milkweed is a perennial wildflower native to the western United States, where it's often found growing on rocky slopes, in woodland areas, or alongside roads and streams.
- First recorded near the Canadian River in 1820 by Columbia University botanist John Torrey.
- Plant grows to about 4 feet tall and produces fragrant, eye-catching flowers that are pale pink to pinkish-purple.
- Attracts numerous butterflies and other pollinators, particularly monarch butterflies whose larvae feed exclusively on milkweed.
- Typically blooms in its second year.
- Direct sow just beneath the soil's surface in late fall. Germination will occur after the last spring frost. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and refrigerate for 30 days (cold stratification) before direct sowing.
