Narrowleaf Milkweed

Honeybees are strongly attracted to narrowleaf milkweed for its abundant, high-sugar nectar, making it a valuable summer forage source from June to September. Pollen collection is minimal due to the flower's pollinia structure, which can occasionally trap bees. This non-invasive native perennial thrives in full sun with low water needs once established and is hardy in zones 6-10, though it dies back in winter.
