Asclepias Linaria Monarch Magnet Pineleaf Milkweed

Asclepias linaria, commonly known as Pineleaf Milkweed, is a unique and attractive perennial that serves as a vital host plant for monarch butterflies, earning it the nickname "Monarch Magnet." This milkweed variety features fine, needle-like leaves that resemble pine needles, giving it a delicate, airy appearance. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of small, creamy-white flowers that are highly attractive to pollinators, including bees and butterflies. Pineleaf Milkweed is drought-tolerant and thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and wildlife gardens. Its low-maintenance nature and ecological importance make it a valuable addition to any garden focused on supporting pollinators.
