Asclepias tuberosa - Butterfly Weed

The Classic "Butterfly Weed"--Bloom-Heavy and Super Easy to Grow! Big orange blooms welcome summer, attracting butterflies and gardeners by the drove! Giant flowerheads, more than 5 inches across, in vivid shades of red, yellow, and orange blanket these strong pants from June right up through frost!
