MILKWEED SEED

Butterfly Milkweed is a fantastic choice for any garden aiming to attract pollinators! This variety of Asclepias tuberosa bursts into bloom with vibrant clusters of fiery red, orange, and yellow flowers throughout the summer, creating a dazzling display that butterflies, especially Monarchs, find irresistible. Growing to a modest size of 2-3 feet tall and about 2 feet wide, it's perfect for adding a splash of color to borders, meadows, or pollinator gardens without taking over.

Plant your 'Gay Butterflies' in a sunny spot where it will receive at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Once established, it's quite drought-tolerant, a real asset for our Arizona summers. Plus, deer tend to avoid milkweed, so you can enjoy its beauty without the worry of them becoming a snack.

To give your Butterfly Milkweed a great start, I recommend planting it with Watters Premium Mulch. This will help with drainage, which is important for milkweeds as they prefer well-drained soil. While this native plant doesn't typically need a lot of fertilizer, a spring application of Watters Flower Power can encourage even more of those brilliant blooms. Get ready for a summer filled with vibrant colors and the delightful flutter of butterflies all around!
