images Common Milkweed Detail Common milkweed blooms profusely
and the flowers have the sweetest smell. It tends to be more
aggressive than some of the other milkweeds, but not
excessively. It is best for a natural planting though. The young
pods are edible if cooked. The stems produce fiber that can be
used for making cordage or even paper. Being a milkweed it
provides food for the larva of the Monarch butterfly. Growth
