Redring milkweed (Asclepias variegata)

Redring milkweed (Asclepias variegata) is a perennial plant native to the eastern U.S., typically reaching heights of up to 3 feet. It produces clusters of white flowers accented by red or purple rings at the base, blooming from late spring to early summer. The leaves are broad, oval, and opposite, and produce a milky latex if broken. This species thrives in well-drained soils with partial shade to full sun and is commonly found in open woods and along forest edges. Redring milkweed is highly attractive to various pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and wasps. For best visual impact, consider planting in groups.
