ASCLEPIAS TUBEROSA
Grower Notes:
Asclepias tuberosa is commonly referred to as Butterfly Weed, Milkweed, Pleurisy Root, Swallow Root, Indian Potato and Indian Paintbrush. This native herbaceous perennial is easy to grow and hassle-free. It features bright orange to yellow-orange flower clusters from June through September. Flowers attract bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators. Flowers also provide valuable nectar for many bees and butterflies and are a valuable food source for the Monarch Butterfly larvae. Dark green, lance-shaped leaves provide a showy contrast to its floral display.
Butterfly Weed thrives in full sun in average, moist, well-drained soils. It is ideal for beds, borders and other sunny, naturalized areas.
