Monarch Butterfly Weed
Asclepias tuberosa - Butterfly Weed
is a species of milkweed native to eastern North America. It is a perennial plant growing to 0.3–1 metre tall, from early summer to early autumn. Long-lasting clusters of small, flat-topped flowers are crowned with clustered orange or yellow flowers, sun-kissed "corona" and bloom from June through August. Butterfly Weed is an important nectar source for Monarch butterflies and its leaves provide essential food for developing Monarch caterpillars - but expect to see a variety of pollinators making use of this plant. Deer and Drought Tolerant,
