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.
