California Milkweed is a native perennial wildflower prized for its vibrant lavender/pink flower clusters and ability to thrive in dry, sunny conditions. This hardy plant reaches 2–3 feet tall and blooms from late spring through summer, attracting monarchs, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. Well-suited to gardens, meadows, and naturalized landscapes, it requires minimal water once established and tolerates poor soil.
