Description

Untitled Document Store Feedback Follow Us Showy Milkweed is a variety of milkweed that is native to much of the Midwest. This perennial wildflower grows to about 3 or 4 feet tall and has large banana-like pointed leaves that grow adjacent each other on the stalk-like stem; atop the stem grows fragrant, bicolor flower clusters that are arranged in thick umbels and shaped like a star with tapering horns. Truly a stunning variety that stands out in the garden, Showy Milkweed is a beautiful addition to any pollinator garden or landscaping. Showy Milkweed will spread and multiply by underground rhizomes, forming in an expanding clump. Allow plants to self-seed in the landscape if desired or remove seed pods before they split open in the fall. These low-maintenance plants perform well on dry sites that have clay, sand, loam or average soils and are drought tolerant once established. They are deer resistant as well.
