Spreading Dogbane Plant
Spreading dogbane (Apocynum androsaemifolium) is also known as Fly-trap dogbane. This native bushy perennial grows on the field edges at Distant Hill Gardens.
When broken, its egg-shaped leaves and stems exude a milky sap, much like its close relative the Common Milkweed. And, like milkweed, all parts of the plant are poisonous to humans (and dogs) if ingested.
