This is one of my favorite flowers - it adds a focal point to the landscape with its bright orange blooms and draws in pollinators and of course, monarchs. I like the June bloomtime-they bloom a little earlier than other milkweeds, bridging the time between early summer blooms and the mid summer when it seems everything is blooming. To establish a robust patch combine plants with seeding. You can take a pile of seeds from the pods at end of the season and disperse them. In no time, your patch will fill out!
