“As a group, the milkweeds are very showy plants with interesting flowers, and are exceptional butterfly plants. Most species are excellent sources for mixed wildflower and butterfly gardens, roadsides, and other hot, dry situations.” Florida’s Best Native Landscape Plants 200 Readily Available Species for Homeowners and Professionals, by Gil Nelson, 2003, University Press of Florida, Page 28
