Ecological Benefits

Maintenance Tips

  • Water moderately; once established, showy milkweed is quite drought-resistant.
  • Trim back in late winter to promote vigorous new growth in spring.
  • Prefers well-drained soil but is adaptable to various soil types.
  • Allow seedlings to grow to enhance the milkweed population or remove them to control the plant's spread.
  • Milkweed seed pods can be easily collected, saved, and shared to propagate this powerful pollinator plant.
