Asclepias Incarnata Pink "Support The Monarchs" Set of 3 Roots
Bring home the butterflies! Asclepias is also known by its common name "Milk Weed" among several others, and is the only host for beautiful Monarch butterflies. Tropical, multitasking milk weed attracts monarch butterflies that use the plant as a source for nectar. Monarch butterflies lay eggs on this plant, and in turn, the resulting larvae (Caterpillars) use the plant leaves as a food source. 

Good to Know

Be aware that the toxic alkaloids in the sap of milkweed that help protect the monarchs from predators can cause eye and skin irritation and are poisonous to pets and other animals when ingested. Take the appropriate precautions and wear gloves, long sleeves, and long pants when working with these plants.
