Bring subtle beauty and ecological value to your garden with whorled milkweed. This slender, graceful milkweed species features narrow, thread-like leaves arranged in whorls along the stem—giving it a soft, airy appearance that sets it apart from other milkweeds. Blooming later than other milkweeds, it’s flowers appear in mid to late summer. Clusters of delicate white flowers bloom, attracting a variety of pollinators, especially native bees and butterflies.

A vital host plant for Monarch caterpillars, whorled milkweed plays an essential role in supporting butterfly populations. It thrives in dry, sandy, or well-drained soils and is exceptionally drought-tolerant, making it a resilient choice for prairie restorations, native plant gardens, and low-maintenance landscapes.
