Butterflyweed - Asclepias
tuberosa
One of the most striking of all
wildflowers, the brilliant orange flowers of the
Butterflyweed appear in mid-summer and are a real
magnet for butterflies. Reaching up to three feet
tall, this is one of the last plants to come up
in the spring as it requires warm soil conditions
before it will grow. It grows well on medium to
very dry soils. This relatively low growing
wildflower is fantastic in borders paired with
Prairie Dropseed or Little Bluestem.
