Description

Orange Showcase for Butterflies!

Special Appeal to Monarchs and Tolerant of Extreme Conditions!

This Butterfly Weed is much more than a pretty face - it is the 2017 Perennial Plant of the Year! When its big orange flowerheads burst into bloom in mid- to late summer, Butterfly Weed attracts every butterfly in the neighborhood to your garden, stealing the show with color so rich it almost glows!

This lovely perennial is especially attractive to Monarchs, acting as a nectar source and a host plant and supplying a place for the butterflies to lay eggs. With handsome foliage, Butterfly Weed remains dazzling long after it blooms.

Easy to grow, Butterfly Weed requires only sun and plenty of it; it tolerates heat and drought with ease, survives winter unscathed, and remains dependable year after year. It reaches 2 feet in height and about 3 feet in width with a lush, rangy shape that complements other plantings. The decorative blooms are super for cutting! Zones 3-9.

I ordered 3 Asclepias Tuberose Orange to add to my mailbox garden and to ensure my color theme continues from spring to autumn. The plants arrived in excellent condition. I'm looking forward to their highly reputable performance this summer

It is a beautiful addition to my garden, and it attracts many butterflies and hummingbirds. If you are making a butterfly garden or just plain, consider getting these.
