Milkweed Butterfly
Asclepias tuberosa

Butterfly Milkweed is a native flowering perennial valued for its bright clusters of orange, yellow, pink, or red flowers and its essential role as a host plant for monarch butterflies. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it offers excellent heat and drought tolerance once established. With its long blooming season, strong pollinator appeal, and Florida-friendly nature, Butterfly Milkweed is ideal for native gardens, pollinator landscapes, and naturalized plantings seeking color with ecological impact.
