Whorled Milkweed is a highly drought tolerant perennial with narrow leaves arranged in whorls along its stems, topped in mid summer with clusters of white flowers. It is typically avoided by deer and rabbits, making it an excellent choice for problem areas. It serves as a host plant for monarch caterpillars and a valuable nectar source for native bees and other pollinators. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and handles dry, sandy, rocky, or clay soils.
