MILKWEED Orange Asclepias Tuberosa Butterfly Weed Monarch Pleurisy 20 Seeds

Description

Butterfly Milkweed
Asclepias Tuberosa
Asclepias tuberosa is a species of milkweed native to eastern North America. It is a perennial plant with clustered orange flowers from early summer to early autumn.
It is commonly known as butterfly weed because of the butterflies that are attracted to the plant by its color and its copious production of nectar. It is also the larval food plant of the queen and monarch butterflies. Hummingbirds, bees and other insects are also attracted.
Most easily propagated by seed. Plant in the location that they are to be grown, as they are difficult to transplant once established.
This plant favors dry, sand or gravel soil, but has also been reported on stream margins. It requires full sun.
Common names include butterfly weed, Canada root, chieger flower, chiggerflower, fluxroot, Indian paintbrush, Indian posy, orange milkweed, orange root, orange Swallow-wort, pleurisy root, silky swallow-wort, tuber root, yellow milkweed, white-root, windroot, butterfly love, butterflyweed, and butterfly milkweed.

You can rest assured you will receive seeds that are true to what you ordered. Visit our store and see all of the unique seeds we offer!
Due to seed inventory shortages, and increased demand, shop early for best selection! Once sold out, we will no longer have seeds for this growing season. Orders are reserved when placed!
Ornamental use only. Do not eat any of our seeds, or the plants or parts that they produce! Due to the fact that about 80% of all plant species are not edible to humans and/or animals (contain toxins/poisons of some kind) these are likely to be poisonous.
Shipping
Combined flat-rate shipping, as many items as you would like, or multiples of the same item! The cart will combine shipping for you.
International shipping: All countries outside of Canada require a seed inspection and a phytosanitary certificate, which is included in the cost of shipping. For USA orders we use this paperwork to get your order over the border (you will not see the certificate as it is taken at the border). Outside of North America, you will see the certificate arrive with your order. Though these certificates are costly, our customers tell us that they appreciate the option to order from us.
