Prairie milkweed (\u003cem\u003eAsclepias sullivantii\u003c\/em\u003e) attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees to the garden with sweet, fragrant blooms. Small clusters of pink flowers bloom in the summer, providing nectar to local pollinators. It may have smaller flowers than other milkweeds, but it has the best foliage of them all. Smooth, almost succulent-like leaves look appealing all season long and serve as a food source for caterpillars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMilkweeds, including prairie milkweed, are essential for the Monarch lifecycle. Their relationship includes more than just swapping nectar for pollination. Caterpillars exclusively feed on their leaves, which are filled with cardenolides. Cardenolides are stored in the bodies of Monarch caterpillars and butterflies as a defense against predators. Without Milkweed, we wouldn't have Monarchs!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVital details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlant size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 2-3'\u003c\/span\u003e tall x 1.5' wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efull sun (6+ hrs\/day)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e: USDA zone 4-8  (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.greatgardenplants.com\/pages\/shopping-by-zone\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFind your hardiness zone\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and is the host plant for Monarchs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNotable features\u003c\/strong\u003e: fragrant, great cut flowers, long-blooming, deer resistant, multiple seasons of interest, low maintenance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePot size\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/buttarflybushes.com\/pages\/our-plant-sizes\" title=\"one quart\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eone quart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlant name:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e Asclepias sullivantii\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"buttarflybushes.com","offers":[{"title":"One Quart","offer_id":39667024887984,"sku":"495","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0235\/7061\/2270\/products\/prairie-milkweed-1.jpg?v=1614279036","url":"https:\/\/buttarflybushes.com\/products\/prairie-milkweed-asclepias-sullivantii","provider":"buttarflybushes.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
