I'm native to New York state and Tompkins County
I have very fragrant blooms and bloom midsummer.
I’m one of the fastest milkweeds to become established because I spread by rhizomes
I'm a pollinator magnet and attract many different butterflies and bees. Hummingbirds are attracted to me too.
I'm a host plant for the larvae of Monarchs and several moth species.
