Narrowleaf milkweed is a perennial herb native to California and Mexico. Growing with a range of white, pink, and lavender flowers, this wildflower is essential to butterflies, especially the Monarch butterfly. The plant will be eaten by Monarch caterpillars, which brings about the Monarch butterflies. Like other milkweeds, it serves as a larval host plant to these pollinators. Narrowleaf milkweed blooms in the late spring or early summer and will last through fall. It is drought tolerant and prefers well-drained soils. Can grow up to 48 inches tall.
Each wildflower seed packet contains approximately 100 seeds.
