Description
Clusters of white to lilac, up to 1" wide, star-shaped, lightly fragrant flowers are produced nearly continuously throughout the warmer months of the year. The large velvety, white to gray green, large rounded tropical foliage of the Giant Milkweed make excellent fodder for Monarch caterpillars and one leaf can provide a substantial amount of food. The flowers of the Crown Flowers are used in leis, flower arrangements, and in religious offerings. The highly toxic sap is said to be used to tip poison arrows although it is also widely used medicinally to treat a variety of ailments.NEEDS PROTECTION below 30
