Asclepias tuberosa / Butterfly Milkweed
$9.00
This stunning milkweed is one of our most vivid wildflowers. Pollinators are as attracted to it as we are, and it is a host plant for monarch caterpillars and milkweed tussock moth caterpillars. Used in herbal medicine for bronchitis and other conditions. An extremely long-lived plant, but only in well-drained, friable soils with ample sun. In the wild, its long taproot resprouts after fire and it thrives where flames have removed competition. Deer resistant, non-aggressive.
Height: 2′ – 3′ Blooms: June – August
Habitat: Well-drained, sun to part sun
Provenance: NJ
