Whorled milkweed (Asclepias verticillata) starting to bloom. Far daintier than many of our other local milkweed species, whorled milkweed makes a great border plant. https://t.co/lsDhEsmuP9
@austinlouisray Damn, that’s dope. Asclepias incarnata and asclepias verticillata seem to be most effective. Asclepias tuberosa is very common (bc it looks cool) but it’s a secondary choice of monarchs & I’ve never seen caterpillars on it. Growers Outles and GPC Botanic Garden are key sources.

@PrairieCzar @BRVogt I recently found sizeable expanses of seeding Asclepias verticillata at a nearby interstate exchange. Listed for $40/oz at Prairie Moon. I was only limited by the annoyance level of my family, stranded on the on-ramp as daddy quick filled a bag.
Show HN: Maeti — an infernal asclepias verticillata, conjured in FoxPro.
