Arizona Milkweed
Arizona Milkweed (Asclepias angustifolia) is a desert-native perennial with slender, willow-like leaves and airy stems that sway in the heat, offering delicate white-and-pink star-shaped blooms that attract butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Blooming in summer, it produces fragrant flowers followed by silky seed pods that ride the wind. With its open, graceful form and deep drought tolerance, it thrives in rocky soils and full sun—perfect for wildflower meadows, dry beds, or tucked among boulders alongside natives like 'Pink' Globe Mallow.
