Asclepias tuberosa

Butterfly Milkweed

Lots of bright orange, flat-topped flower clusters bloom atop stout stems for many weeks in late spring through summer. This milkweed is a host plant for the monarch butterfly and a great nectar source for many other butterflies and pollinators. This is a great garden plant, common in well-drained prairies and open savannahs.
