{"product_id":"aquatic-milkweed","title":"Aquatic Milkweed (Asclepias perennis)","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"232\" data-end=\"739\"\u003eAquatic Milkweed is a petite but powerful plant for moist to wet gardens, rain gardens, and low-lying edges. Topping out at around 1.5 to 2 feet tall, it features slender, lance-shaped leaves and an airy habit that blends well with other low-growing natives. In late spring to early summer, clusters of small, starry white flowers bloom, offering nectar to a range of pollinators. Like all milkweeds, it serves as a vital host for Monarch butterfly caterpillars, helping support their declining populations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"987\"\u003eThis species is more tolerant of shade and standing moisture than many other milkweeds, making it especially useful in sites where others would struggle.
