Description

Butterfly Weed should be a staple in every pollinator garden. It is treasured for its long-lasting clusters of bright orange flowers. The leaves are an essential food source for the caterpillars of Monarch butterflies. We delight in watching the caterpillars munch the foliage nearly to the ground each season. Somehow the plants continue to flower anyway. Deer and rabbit resistant.

WARNING: May cause minor vomiting or stomach upset if ingested. Sap or juice may cause dermatitis.
