Butterfly Weed - (Asclepias tuberosa)

Butterfly Weed, or often called Orange Milkweed, is a tough perennial that only reaches a little more than 2 feet tall, making it an excellent choice for borders and small garden spaces. It has a deep taproot, which makes it drought-tolerant, though it also makes mature plants difficult to transplant. Once established, this species can live for many years, bringing lasting color and pollinator activity to a garden. Loves dry sandy or clay soils. It's a host plant for the monarch and a key nectar plant for Diana Fritillaries.

Potted Plants

All of our native plants are grown in 3.5” x 3.5” x 5” deep pots, the perfect size for developing strong root systems. Each plant is carefully grown until its roots reach the bottom of the pot, ensuring they are healthy, well-established, and ready to be planted
