A favorite of monarchs and other pollinators, desert milkweed is a hardy perennial with slender, upright stems and creamy yellow flowers. Found in arid regions of the Southwest, it thrives in full sun and poor soil. Its unique shape and soft colors make it a standout in desert gardens, while also playing a key role in supporting native butterflies.
