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

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.
