Asclepias purpurascens
Milkweed
Large deep rose-pink to purple clusters of blooms appear for several weeks in early summer. Large leathery leaves have a purplish cast to them. This is a great non-invasive substuite for common milkweed. Leaves are larval food for Monarch Butterflies. Sandy's Favorite!
