Milkweed is the common name for perennial, herbaceous plants of genus Asclepias, family Asclepiadaceae (from Greek physician Asclepius). One hundred species occur worldwide; 13 are native to Canada.
Common milkweed is a native of North America. Currently, its range includes the eastern half of the United States. Also, it has become naturalized in much of central and southern Europe. In Ohio, common milkweed is distributed throughout every county. Plants grow in clumps or patches in meadows, fencerows, roadsides, railways, waste places, reduced-tillage fields, and other open habitats. Common milkweed prefers rich sandy or gravelly loam soils that are well drained.
