This milkweed species stands out with its slender, finely dissected leaves, resembling a skeletal structure, hence its name. It’s a crucial host plant for monarch butterflies, providing a habitat for their larvae and nectar for adults. Its unique appearance and role in supporting pollinators make it a valuable addition to native plant gardens, promoting biodiversity and conservation efforts.
