Common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) is a tall, robust native perennial known for its large, oppositely arranged leaves with a milky sap, fragrant ball-like clusters of pink to purple flowers, and warty seed pods that release silky-haired seeds, crucial for Monarch butterflies but toxic if ingested by others, thriving in sunny, disturbed areas like roadsides and fields.
