Never judge a plant by its name. This is certainly the case with this wildflower, which is not a weed at all. This tough native of North American fields, wetlands and grasslands is the only host plant for the struggling monarch butterfly. Milkweed's small, star-shaped flowers are great for pollination. Depending on the plant, milkweed flowers are yellow, green, purple, pink, or orange. Equally elaborate are the large seed pods that develop from fertilized flowers. In the fall, these skilled self-seeders crack open, releasing hundreds of seeds. Most milkweeds need full sun (at least 6 to 8 hours a day). Attracting monarch butterflies, regulars also include native bees, honey bees, hummingbirds and many other types of butterflies.10.11 2.1 flawless for everyday use. premium materials and excellent craftsmanship ensure long-lasting durability.
