Asclepias - Hello Yellow Butterfly Weed

Asclepias Butterfly Weed Bareroot | Hello Yellow

Quite literally the opposite of mellow yellow, this low-maintenance Butterfly Weed is a prized perennial characterized by blazing yellow flower clusters. Much to the delight of butterflies and bees, the sunny blossoms are produced from early summer through early fall. Plus, you can encourage even more carefree flowers by cutting back the spent blooms!

Fun Fact: Asclepias are the only plants that Monarch butterflies will lay their eggs on and are critical to their survival. When you grow a Butterfly Weed or Milkweed, you're actually supporting this spectacular species! Allow Monarch caterpillars to eat the plant and develop into butterflies.

Note: The sap is considered mildly toxic to curious pets if ingested. Plant with caution.
