Market price from $3.35 to $11.25

Asclepias tuberosa is a vibrant perennial favorite, more commonly known as the Butterfly Weed. Standing at an accessible 1-2. 5 feet tall, this dynamic plant puts on an impressive show with its radiant clusters of orange or yellow blooms. Its herbaceous green foliage provides a striking contrast, creating a color palette that will undoubtedly be a centerpiece in any garden. But its appeal goes beyond its vibrant aesthetic. This North American native is not just gardeners' favorite but also holds particular allure for Monarch butterflies, turning your garden into a bustling haven for these beautiful pollinators. The Butterfly Weed thrives in full sun and prides itself on its drought resistance, making it a resilient, low-maintenance gem. Round it off with an impressive resistance against deer and diseases, this plant exemplifies a harmonious blend of visual appeal, hardy performance, and ecological contribution. With a deep-rooted tuber system that excludes the common milkiness often associated with its Asclepias relations, the Butterfly Weed offers a unique botanic experience that's bound to captivate.
