Asclepias fascicularis – Narrow Leaf Milkweed (Mexican Whorled Milkweed)
One of the most important plants you can grow for wildlife, Asclepias fascicularis is a California native milkweed and the essential host plant for Monarch butterfly caterpillars. Slender, erect stems bear whorls of narrow pointed leaves and clusters of delicate lavender to lavender-tinted white flowers from summer through fall, providing nectar for butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Deciduous and tough — tolerating drought, clay, heat, and deer — it naturalizes beautifully in sunny borders and meadows.
