Poke Milkweed is native to the eastern U.S. In Maryland it grows in rich woods and cleared areas, mainly at middle and higher elevations (J. Hill/MNPS).
The large size and loose panicles of white flowers separate this species from other large milkweeds in Maryland.
Poke Milkweed can be common along shaded roadsides in Garrett County.
Host plant for Monarchs.
