Asclepias fascicularis
“Narrow Leaved Milkweed”

An elegant, easily grown California native, this plant is tolerant of a wider range of extremes than most Asclepias we offer. This milk-weed has soft pink & white clusters of flowers that span 5” in summer, above 5”, narrow leaves, & is an important food source for Monarch butterfly larvae. Drought tolerant, & needing NO SUMMER WATER once established, it is advised that you plant it, water it for a month, & then let it figure the rest out on its own. This very adaptable plant grows 4’ high, & 1’ wide, & can take Summer water so long as your drainage is good. Clay soil is just fine so long as you withhold Summer water. This species goes dormant in late Summer & emerges again in the Spring!
