Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa) is a drought-tolerant, native perennial wildflower known for its brilliant orange blooms and exceptional ability to attract monarch butterflies and other pollinators. It thrives in full sun, poor sandy or rocky soils, and requires little maintenance once established. Unlike other milkweeds, it produces no milky sap, making it less toxic to pets and livestock. Its best features include long blooming season, heat tolerance, and ecological value as a host plant for monarch caterpillars If not planting in the fall, cold stratification is recommended for optimal germination Germination in 10-30 days Collected: 5/25 Germination: 84% As always, FREE SHIPPING on all orders within the US Please, if you have any issues with your order, germination or simply need planting instructions, reach out to me and I will take care of you.
