Asclepias fascicularis
Narrowleaf Milkweed, also called California Narrowleaf Milkweed, is one of the easiest and most accommodating California natives you can grow. Happy with high water or low, heat, and nearly any garden soil—even stubborn clay—it forms a handsome, bushy 3' x 3' mound of many branching stems and long, slender leaves. From June to September, it carries plentiful 2" clusters of soft creamy-pink flowers that hover above the foliage with a light, graceful charm. An important host plant for Monarch caterpillars and a nectar source for other butterflies, too, it brings both beauty and purpose to the garden. It gets bigger and better with age and will slowly spread to form small colonies. Deer resistant.
