 | Asclepias verticillata |
| Common name : Feather-leaved Milkweed |
| |
| Like all Milkweeds, this species will attract butterflies to the garden. This Eastern North American native forms a medium-size, spreading clump of upright stems, clothed with fine green leaves that have a soft, feathery appearance. Clusters of fragrant white flowers appear in midsummer. Bright gold and orange fall colour. Good choice for naturalizing in open, sunny meadows, in the wildflower garden or perennial border. Interesting as a cut flower.
