Asclepias, Butterfly Flower 'Orange Milkweed' Heirloom

Description

Butterflies, including Monarchs, find the large clusters of vibrant orange flowers filled with sweet nectar irresistible. Combine with cosmos, zinnias, and echinacea for a garden that will provide food and shelter for butterflies and delight you all summer long.

Sow in full sun and sandy, well-drained soil in spring as soon as the soil can be worked, or anytime up to two months before first fall frost. Leaves will develop the first year, flowers the second year. Cover plants with mulch after ground freezes in the fall.
