Native to the Midwest and broadly distributed across North America, this vigorous and florific strain of Butterfly milkweed is a favorite for prairie restoration, native planting, or simply providing colorful butterfly havens in the landscape. It produces a brilliant display of copiously borne orange flowers from early to mid-summer. These give way to attractive 4-5 inch long seed pods, adding great late-season interest. Butterfly milkweed is drought resistant and can grow in almost any soil, combining well with other plants like Eryngium, Solidago, daylilies, Liatris, and Salvia.
