The milkweed plant is an upright specimen that may reach 2 to 6 feet. Leaves grow from a thick stalk and are large and green, taking on a reddish color as the plant matures.
I was wanting to pretty-up my veggie garden with a small flower garden to the side. I was thinking a butterfly garden b/c of the swallowtails that were on my dill and carrots last year and I wanted to help the Monarchs. I was looking at Milkweed pics and noticed the seed pod. Looks like it disperses in the wind. find it to be a magnet for Monarchs. Unfortunately, it is VERY invasive in good soil. A note about the Monarch situation: Last spring, my milkweed was covered with Monarch eggs.
