Showy milkweed, also called Greek milkweed and butterfly flower, grows as a robust shrub-like heirloom perennial with green to silvery-green foliage and often soft fuzzy stems. In summer pink to white flowers are followed by decorative woolly seed pods.
Native throughout much of the western United States, it is drought tolerant once established and grows best in well-drained soils in full sun. Cannot ship to Hawaii.
