Orange Butterfly flower Asclepias tuberosa 10 seeds
Butterfly weed is a 3-4 ft tall herbaceous perennial that dies back in winter and re-sprouts from its underground tuber each spring. The brilliant orange or pink flower clusters appear in midsummer. These are followed by attractive green pods that open to release silky parachutes to drift away on autumn winds. Butterfly weed is a trouble free perennial in zone 4-10 that will come up year after year in the same place without crowding its neighbors. It prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Tolerates drought. Adult butterflies of many species sip nectar from the beautiful blossoms of butterfly weed. Hardiness: Zones 4 - 10 ...

Family Jewels Plant 20 Seeds - Asclepias - Annual
Asclepias physocarpa Family Jewels Plant This small tree-like tender perennial from Africa is sure to inspire lots of laughs and comparisons. It s in the Milkweed family, and grows 4-6 tall. The flowers are creamy-white and the leaves are narrow. Its the seed pods that are well, uh, . . . controversial. They are ball-like, about 2 across, translucent lime green, and have little spiny hairs sticking out. Though humorous, they make excellent landscaping plants as they are fast growing, trouble free, have a nice lollipop. The inflated seed pods are nice in dried floral designs. Though native to Africa, Monarch butterflies will readily lay their eggs on it. A great fast growing host plant for their caterpillars. One perhaps not too useful further piece of information is that the leaves of this plant were once used to adulterate senna. Hardy in zones 9-11. In cooler regions grow as an annual and save the seed for next year or grow the plant as a patio plant in a container and grow outside ...
