Tiny purple petals in the center resemble a miniature drone surrounded by wider pale green petals. One flat-topped 3–5" cluster of these otherworldly flowers per stem. Blooms spring through midsummer, pods in fall.
Larval host to monarch butterflies and of special value to native bees, bumblebees, and honey bees per the Xerces Society. Spreads lightly by seed and rhizome. Long taproot makes it difficult to transplant, but tolerant of drought. Deer-resistant. Also known as spider milkweed or green antelopehorn. See more Milkweed in Native Perennials.
