Don't miss out on some of the showiest native flowers! Named the Perennial Plant of the Year, Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa) brings the heat to your naturalized plantings.

This "weed" is actually one of the most valuable choices we have to support our magnificent Monarch butterflies. They count on this Milkweed variety as a host plant to feed the caterpillars..and the broad, flat blooms pump out plenty of nectar each season as a food source.
