Poke Milkweed

Poke milkweed grows between 50 cm to 1.3 m tall and has elegant white drooping flowers.

Growing Conditions:

It prefers rich, moist woodland soil and dappled shade.  Transplanting from pots into the soil often stresses this plant, and the plant can go dormant—adequate water and shade help.

Ecology:

Host plant to the monarch butterfly. Nectar plant for bees and butterflies.
