USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Asclepias fascicularis (California Narrow Leaf Milkweed) is a western native species that enhances the landscape with its huge white flower clusters and big, narrow leaves. A host plant for Monarch populations on the West Coast and Great Basin, this ornamental species is easy to grow and thrives in a wide range of growing conditions. Companion plants include other butterfly-attracting native perennials like Achillea, Eriogonum (Sulfur Buckwheat) and Appleblossom Grass (Gaura).
