Asclepas hallii
“Hall’s Milkweed”

Extremely rare in the trade, this Monarch butterfly host & nectar source displays lovely smallish deep pink flowers in clusters on upright stems above attractively veined blue-green oval shaped leaves. Native to the Western US (Arizona, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado & New Mexico) it will reach 3’ tall in rich, moist soil & attain lesser height in poor, drier, sandy soil. Not much info exists yet for this scarcely grown Milkweed – let us know how you like it! Summer bloomer.

NOTE: If you are planning to introduce Monarch caterpillars to this plant, we recommend letting it establish for one season before doing so. The plant - and the caterpillars will thank you!
