Care
Milkweed plants thrive in well-drained soil and prefer a moderate amount of water. They’re drought-tolerant once established. Prune dead stems in late winter to early spring. They attract pollinators and provide habitat for monarch caterpillars. Avoid over-fertilizing.
Exposure
Milkweed plants thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. They prefer bright, sunny locations with well-draining soil, promoting robust growth and attracting pollinators such as monarch butterflies.
