Susan S on Jun 23, 2012Gee thanx Doug - YOU are the one I was really counting on to come up w/the right answer. We'll see what Walter or Erica and other plant pros might think!! @JP S - but it turns pink - starts out white then graduates to pink. Don't think it's milkweed or a member of phlox - but then again - I DON'T HAVE A CLUE!! ;~)Helpful Reply

Seems to have done a serious amount of migration don't ya think? Obviously a passing bird sometime in the past!!! Well, it ain't bothering me and as long as I don't let it run amuck - keep runners in check etc. I'm ok with it! JP - looks like you were on to something after all!!! Thanks guys - YOU ARE ALL THE BEST!!! ;~)Helpful Reply

Lorraine Miller Frank on Aug 25, 2016Definitely a milkweed but that is a very good thing! According to Save Our Monarch site, "The monarch butterfly is in trouble. Their numbers are down 90% of what they were in 1992. And the milkweed plant population, which is indispensable to the monarch, is also down 90%. Milkweed plants are the only source of food for the monarch caterpillar. But these plants are rapidly disappearing, due to the loss of habitat stemming from land development and the widespread spraying of weed killer on the fields where they live. The Save Our Monarchs Foundation is solely dedicated to saving the monarch butterfly by planting more milkweed."

Sue Kiene on Sep 03, 2016milkweed is pretty invasive but I agree this one is very pretty. It is very pretty and the changing colors is wonderful. I would try to keep it confined to one area in your yard.Helpful Reply
