Comments
Found throughout Missouri in upland habitats. Butterfly milkweed is occasionally used in seeding mixes. Easy to establish from seed, but may take several years to bloom. This deep-rooted perennial withstands overgrazing and is an excellent nectar source for insects, while the leaves are a food source for the monarch caterpillar. Seed collection is often difficult because pods split open and disperse most of the seed in one day.
