Poke Milkweed - (Asclepias exaltata)
Poke Milkweed thrives in dappled to full shade, growing taller than most milkweeds with oval leaves and drooping clusters of white to cream flowers tinted purple and green. It supports Monarch butterflies and moth larvae, though rabbits enjoy it too. Long lived but not aggressive, it can sometimes hybridize with Common Milkweed when planted nearby.
Height: 3’ - 4’
Sun: Part Shade - Full Shade
Soil: Medium - Dry
Bloom Time: June - July
