Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa) is a vibrant, drought-tolerant perennial native to North America, valued for its bright orange clusters of nectar-rich flowers. Blooming from late spring through summer, it attracts butterflies, especially monarchs, as well as bees and other pollinators, making it an important plant for supporting wildlife. Butterfly Milkweed thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and requires minimal maintenance once established. Its deep taproot provides resilience in dry conditions, and its striking blooms make it an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, borders, and naturalized meadows.
