These long-lasting, fragrant blooms are often compared to tiny crowns in appearance. Showy Milkweed is frequently favored for garden use because it spreads more slowly and is less aggressive than Common Milkweed. Native primarily to regions west of the Mississippi River, Showy Milkweed is widespread throughout its natural range and is commonly found in prairies, savannas, and other open landscapes. It thrives in full sun, tolerates a wide variety of soil types, and does not perform well in shaded areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"963\" data-start=\"594\"\u003eLike all \u003cem data-end=\"614\" data-start=\"603\"\u003eAsclepias\u003c\/em\u003e species, Showy Milkweed provides an excellent nectar source and serves as a host plant for Monarch and Queen butterfly caterpillars.
