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!
Prefers sun and moist to wet soil, but tolerates drier conditions and clay soil. Late to break dormancy in spring.
