No. I thought milkweed was a wild flower I have, but looking at this it isn't. Wonder what my low growing little thing is
Milkweed is a name given to anything that oozes white sap
Milkweed in the UK is an annual euphorbia (weed)
The asclepias isn't a UK wildflower, or a French one as far as I know
In the sticks near Peterborough
Thanks Lizzie, I cant do links on the tablet.
The plants were advertized in a leaflet as plugs, but seems they could be grown from seeds, I love the parrot type fruits/seed heads.
It looks a lovely plant Lyn , not seen this before but like kiddie I thought it was a wild flower.
Ooooooooops this bloomin kindel changed my words again, don't know who kiddie is I put Lizzie
