The common milkweed (Asclepias Syriaca) is a perennial plant native to North America, known for its distinctive clusters of pink to purple flowers and its ecological significance. This plant typically grows to a height of 3 to 4 feet and thrives in a variety of soil types, preferring well-drained, sandy loam. It is commonly found in fields, roadsides, and disturbed areas, making it an adaptable choice for gardeners looking to enhance biodiversity.

Blooms continuously summer through fall, providing migrating monarchs with nectar snacks for their long journey and a place to lay their eggs. Can be grown as an annual in cooler grow zones. Lovely and long-lasting in cut flower arrangements.

  • Life cycle: Herbaceous perennial
  • Bloom season: Summer, fall
  • Attracts: Beneficial insects, hummingbirds, bees, butterflies, and other pollinators
  • Flower meaning: Dignity, freedom, rejection, remembrance, solitude

As a medicinal plant, Milkweed has been used internally to treat diarrhea, gonorrhea, intestinal parasites and worms, pneumonia, spleen inflammation, and stomach tumors, and externally to treat bleeding, boils, corns, dermatitis, eye infections, ringworm, skin parasites, snakebites, sores, warts, and wounds.

⚠️ Although Milkweed is known to be safe when used correctly, all parts of the plant are toxic and may even cause death to people, pets, horses, and livestock if ingested in large quantities. The milky sap is a skin irritant. Do not ingest while pregnant or nursing.

⚠️ Medicinal properties are presented as information only, and are not a recommendation or prescription for use. Consult a medical professional before using any plant medicinally.

NOTE: A parasite, Ophryocystis elektroscirrha (OE), travels with monarchs and is deposited on every plant they visit. In warm grow zones where this non-native milkweed does not die back from a killing frost, the OE parasite can build up and harm the caterpillars that feed on the leaves and the butterflies they become. A continuously blooming milkweed may also encourage the monarchs to dally rather than migrate, which interrupts their reproductive cycle. It’s easy to eliminate both dangers, by cutting your plants to the ground at least once per season.

More facts about Milkweed:

  • The beautiful monarch butterflies rely on milkweed to lay their eggs upon. Sadly, habitats that naturally support monarchs are becoming fewer in number each year. New urban development & chemically treated "big agriculture" are destroying habitats of milkweed all over the United States.

Great jeans
Size: 32W x 34L, Color: Tinted Dark Wash
Super comfy, fit true to size, and stretchy enough to wear day to day. Great value and they look super clean. Athletic fit is great for bigger thighs to keep comfortable and not cut off blood flow haha

Thick, durable jeans for a good price!
Size: 34W x 34L, Color: Tinted Dark Wash
I bought these for my son. They fit well - true to size. They feel thick and durable. He says the fabric is a little stiff, which makes them wrinkle, so he doesn't wear them as often as some other jeans.

They are dark blue and are great especially for the price.
Size: 38W x 28L, Color: Tinted Dark Wash
They fit true to the size and the dark blue color is perfect...!!! I did wash them in hot water and put them in the dryer on low temperature before I wore them and they fit perfect. And I am 5'6" weight about 215lbs. I bought the 38 waste and 28 length and athletic fit stretch and they do stretch and I absolutely love them...!!!

Great jeans, waist is too high
Size: 40W x 30L, Color: Tinted Light Wash
These pants, so far, have been well made and are almost identical to Levi's 541 style jeans. They have almost the exact same fit and are comfortable. There is only one detractor, the waist is about an inch and a half too high. I compared it to my 541's and that is the only difference. I am glad I know about this now. Other than the waist height, I would absolutely buy these again.
