This pale green-white milkweed is a host plant for monarch caterpillars and ideal for dry, sunny and part shade areas. Thin leaves arranged in whorls adorned with tiny fragrant blooms late in the season, providing nectar for a variety of butterflies and bees through early fall.

Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoid for healthy pollinators and planets, these native Whorled Milkweed plants for sun/part shade:

• Support other wildlife species including birds, butterflies, moths, and bees
• Return each year 
• Never need chemicals and require less water once established
• Are deer resistant, once established

Available in sets of three, six, or 12 plants. 

Did you know? The monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) that relies on native milkweed to survive has declined in population by 90%. By planting milkweed, you are restoring critical habitat for monarchs and making a real difference toward saving these iconic creatures!

This set of Whorled Milkweed plants also has the potential to support up to:

- 12 other butterfly species
- 1+ pollen specialist bees
- 96% of backyard birds that rely on these insects to feed their young
- Dozens of other pollinator species foraging for nectar
