Description
Striking and flamboyant, the erect stems of Asclepias tuberosa proudly bear clusters of golden-orange blooms with sepals gracefully arching backward. Appropriately named the butterfly weed, it acts as a magnet for swarms of butterflies and bees, drawn to its nectar-rich blossoms throughout the summer. As autumn arrives, the flowers give way to long seed heads that split open, revealing seeds adorned with delicate strands of silken white hairs. This exceptional hardy perennial proves to be a wildlife haven with its prolonged season of interest, making it a standout choice for wildlife gardens. The vibrant blossoms also double as unique and eye-catching cut flowers. With a height of 90cm (36 inches) and a spread of 60cm (24 inches), it adds both allure and ecological value to your outdoor space. Supplied as a bare root plant.Please note that plant height and spread are seasonal, so we provide information based on pot size rather than specific dimensions.
