Asclepias cordifolia - Purple Milkweed

Description

This Milkweed forms a loose mound of attractive purplish-green foliage topped with purple flowers in summer. A nice plant for a hot dry spot along a path or on a slope, it can also be planted among taller shrubs like Monkeyflower and Sagebrush, which it will twine up into to show off its flowers. Winter dormant.
