Antelope Horns Milkweed hails from North America, predominantly across the United States and Northern Mexico. This plant is considered a weed due to its tenacious ability to proliferate, making it a difficult opponent for gardeners. Like most weeds, antelope Horns Milkweed exhibits rapid growth and reproduction, showing a remarkable aptitude for occupying spaces and driving out native species. Its seed pods burst, dispersing numerous seeds that find their way into different parts of the garden and even beyond, intensifying the spread. This uncontrolled spread can potentially choke out other plants, causing harm to the garden ecosystem. Moreover, antelope Horns Milkweed has a strong root system, making it hard to eradicate once established, exacerbating the harm to gardens. The main way this plant spreads is via seeds. When ripe, the seed pods of antelope Horns Milkweed burst open, releasing seeds equipped with silky hairs called pappus. Carried by the wind, these seeds can float to new locations, facilitating the plant's wide dispersion.
