Asclepias tuberosa
A vibrant native perennial known for its brilliant orange blooms, butterfly weed brings long-lasting color and essential habitat value to sunny landscapes. Its deep taproot allows it to thrive in dry, well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for drought-tolerant gardens, meadows, and pollinator plantings. As a host plant for monarch butterflies and a rich nectar source for many pollinators, it plays an important role in supporting native ecosystems.
