The showiest of all milkweeds, with vivid orange flower clusters that almost glow against the summer sky. An essential monarch host plant that also draws swallowtails, fritillaries, and a remarkable diversity of native bees. Stays well-behaved in the garden and never spreads aggressively. Thrives in dry, sunny spots with lean soil.
