This vibrant yellow milkweed is just the ticket to add sunshine to your garden and beckon droves of beneficial insects! Plants stand 1.5- to 3- feet tall and are topped with umbels of lemon yellow blooms, which are wildly attractive to butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and other native pollinators. Drought tolerant once established, this is a great choice for meadows, low-water landscaping, beds, borders, and even the cutting garden. Milkweed is the sole food source of the imperiled monarch caterpillar. (CAUTION: The milky sap is poisonous if ingested in large quantities, and contact with the skin may cause dermatitis in sensitive individuals.)
