Whorled milkweed is one of the more elegant larval host plants of Monarch butterflies. Though it looks daintier than other milkweeds with its thin, grass-like foliage, and delicate white flower clusters, it is a tough plant that can withstand drought conditions and spread by rhizomes. Its resilience and 2' stature makes it versatile in landscape and garden designs alike.
