Narrow Leaf Milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis)

A monarch magnet! Narrow Leaf Milkweed is a California native essential for any wildlife-friendly garden. Its tall, slender stems are topped with clusters of lavender-tinged flowers that bloom through summer and fall, providing nectar to a host of pollinators. Even more importantly, it serves as a host plant for monarch butterfly caterpillars. Plant this sun-loving perennial in a meadow, border, or pollinator strip and watch your garden come alive with winged visitors.
