Asclepias tuberosa (Butterfly Weed)

Brilliant clusters of fiery orange flowers rise above tidy mounds of narrow foliage, lighting up sunny gardens through early and mid-summer. Butterfly Weed is a true monarch host plant, supporting caterpillars while drawing in bees and butterflies all season long.

Its drought-tolerant nature and glowing color make it a standout in prairie plantings, pollinator gardens, and sunny borders.

Bold. Resilient. A monarch magnet.
