Review & Description
This species of milkweed is named after the 19th century American botanist William Starling Sullivant. Preferring moist prairie areas, this wildflower is commonly found in river bottom-lands and wet meadows. It differs from common milkweed in it's smooth stems, leaves, and seed pods, upward sweeping red-veined leaves, and larger flowers. It's fragrant rose or mauve colored blooms attract butterflies and birds, and are a host plant for monarch larvae. When ripe, it's seed pods split open, releasing the downy silk and seeds milkweed is so famous for. Prized in dried floral arrangements!
