The pure white 'Milkmaid' has rounded umbels of fragrant flowers that bloom in summer. The nectar-rich flowers provide food for butterflies, especially the Monarch that proceeds to lay eggs on this and other milkweeds. It is happy in heavy wet soils at the edge of ponds and regular garden soils supplied with humus.
