3 Butterfly Weed Plants Asclepias Tuberosa Milkweed Bare Root Wildflower Perennial

Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa) is a hardy North American native perennial prized for its flat-topped clusters of vivid orange blooms that appear through summer, creating a bright, long-lasting display in borders, meadows, and pollinator gardens. Its upright, clump-forming habit brings vertical interest and bold color to sunny landscapes, and the nectar-rich flowers are a favorite of bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.
This wildflower works beautifully in native plantings, cottage gardens, prairie-style beds, and naturalized areas, and its dried seed pods add late-season texture. The bright orange flowers also hold up well as cut stems for fresh arrangements, while its deep taproot makes it a durable, drought-tolerant choice once established. Each order ships as bare root plants ready to settle into a sunny, well-drained spot.
