Product Details

Butterfly Milkweed

Asclepias tuberosa

Butterfly Milkweed brings intense orange color with clusters of small, star-shaped blooms gathered tightly at the top of upright stems. The flowers create a bright, concentrated display that stands clearly above the narrow green foliage. Its structured form keeps the plant neat while allowing the blooms to take center stage throughout the season. The compact clumping habit creates a balanced shape without spreading aggressively, making it easy to incorporate into designed landscapes. Reaching about 18 to 36 inches tall and spreading 12 to 24 inches wide at maturity, it develops a strong vertical presence that works well in borders and native plantings.

  • Flowering perennial
  • Bright orange flower clusters
  • Upright, clumping growth habit
  • Moderate growth rate
  • Excellent for borders and native plantings

Butterfly Milkweed thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 3 through 9, it provides vivid seasonal color and attracts pollinators in Texas landscapes.
