This came from a rummage/plant sale. It's about 2 feet tall. The leaves are approx. 3 1/2" long. Thanks, Linda

Asclepias curassavica.

Thank you so much. Now I can figure out where it will work in the yard. Linda

Don't forget that this is a host plant for the Monarch Butterfly. It may very well get eaten to a nub every year (mine sure do). You may want to consider planting it where it won't be a focal plant. That's just a suggestion from my own personal experience with this plant.

Thank you, That's good to know. I have a slope and will probably plant some there if it's drought tolerant here, and some in the front yard with lots of succulents. Linda
