Why we grow it

Showy milkweed makes a shrub-like presence with pink-to-white flowers in summer. Later, woolly pods add another texture to the patch.

Give this perennial full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates drought, so the planting can settle into a drier corner of the garden.
