Asclepias tuberosa (Butterfly Milkweed)
An amazing native pollinator attractor and a striking, bright addition to the landscape. It’s spread can be easily managed by removing seedpods before they open. Milkweed grows in Full or Partial Sun and is drought tolerant after the first year. Monarch populations are dangerously low. Please reestablish milkweed clumps all along migration routes from Mexico/California up to the Northern US and Canada.
This is a western, intermountain native forb. For this US region, the orange sparks and is a common occurrence and easy to grow from seed. It is a very long bloomer starting in May and just now starting to set seed in mid-July.
