Asclepias attracts wildlife and blooms for many weeks.
Named for the Greek god of medicine, as some of the species
were used medicinally.
In mid summer, see the brilliant colors of asclepias displayed
in the gardens here at the Farm.
For more information about them,
see 'Herbaceous Perennial Plants’ by Allen Armitage.
