[ Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) | Posted on April 26, 2022 ]

Invasive! Spreads via rhizomes and has escaped the confines of a flower bed and began sprouting in decomposed granite paths surround the bed. No hope of pulling the whole forest out as the shoots snap off easily from the roots. Sadly I've never seen mine flower in the 3 years I've been growing it (starts from seed easily). The only plus I've experienced is that I've grown tomatoes right next to them and the milkweed kept entire colonies of aphids off neighboring plants.
