Loving full sun and dry, well-draining soil, this tough, drought tolerant perennial thrives where other pants struggle.

A well-behaved, clump forming plant, Butterfly Milkweed adds a pop of color without having to worry about it spreading aggressively. It plays beautifully with other sun-loving perennials and creates a hotspot for butterflies and bees.

Native to prairies, open fields, and roadsides across much of North America, it flourishes in sandy or rocky soils from the Northeast through the Great Plains.

Emerging late in spring, it quickly bursts into a summer-long show of bright orange flowers, followed by slender seed pods.

A biodiversity powerhouse, it provides nectar for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, while serving as the larval host for Monarchs.
