Milkweed/Butterfly Flower

Butterflies will seek out your garden when you grow this vigorous, heirloom perennial, a preferred nectar plant for monarchs and other pollinators. Beginning in summer, you will be treated to a profusion of fiery, red-orange flowers followed by decorative green seed pods. This is drought tolerant once established and performs in poor soils. These are native to much of the United States and a long-lasting addition to cut flower arrangements.
