Butterfly Weed

Vibrant orange perennial is crucial for monarch butterflies and thrives in dry, poor soils once established.

About Butterfly Weed

This vibrant perennial displays brilliant orange and yellow flowers that provide critical nectar and larval food for monarch butterflies, also attracting various other pollinators. Exceptionally drought-tolerant once established, it thrives in poorer, drier soils and offers a durable, long-lived presence in the garden. It produces decorative seed pods and is well-suited for wildlife gardens or cut flower arrangements. Exercise caution, as its milky sap is toxic if ingested and can irritate skin.
