Blue Sailor
This plant has fluffy seeds like the dandelion – but they grow in a fat pod instead of coming from the flowers. When the pods are still small, you can pick them and cook them. They taste a bit like asparagus crossed with green beans. Don’t wait too long to pick them, though! Otherwise, you’ll end up with a mouthful of fluff!
Perfect for your garden for monarchs.
Did you know milkweed also smells sweet? At our old place, we had a small patch of milkweed for the butterflies. When they were blooming, the whole yard smelled like nectar!
No but that makes sense for it to attract monarchs. I need some!
