The CPRV Environmental Committee’s Plant of the Month is butterfly milkweed, a bright, cheerful native perennial that brings color, life, and pollinator value to Norfolk gardens.

Butterfly milkweed is a great choice for sunny spots, especially for neighbors looking to add a beautiful, low-maintenance plant that supports local wildlife. Once established, it is tough and drought-tolerant, with showy blooms that stand out in the garden.

This native plant is especially loved by bees, butterflies, and Monarchs, making it a strong choice for anyone hoping to create a more pollinator-friendly yard. With its vivid color and easygoing nature, butterfly milkweed is a wonderful way to add beauty and ecological value to your Norfolk garden.
