Butterfly Milkweed Plant - 3 Live Starter Plants - Asclepias Tuberosa - Perennial Florida-Native Wildflower Evergreen

Butterfly Milkweed Asclepias tuberosa is a vibrant perennial admired for its brilliant clusters of deep orange flowers that sit atop sturdy, upright stems. Its foliage forms a dense arrangement of narrow green leaves that line the stems in an alternating pattern, giving the plant a structured and compact shape. The flower clusters are composed of many small, star-shaped blooms, creating a bold display of saturated orange color that remains visually striking through the height of the warm season. Its vivid tones offer a strong contrast to surrounding greenery, making it one of the most decorative milkweed selections available.

Asclepias tuberosa typically maintains a shorter, more compact profile than taller milkweed types, which allows it to fill lower sections of the garden without overwhelming neighboring plants. Its blooms eventually transition into slender elongated pods that remain in view as the season advances, providing added texture even after the primary color display has finished. Butterfly Milkweed is often selected for sunny borders, meadow-style layouts, and layered planting arrangements where warm, saturated color is desired. Its bold floral presentation, tidy structure, and dependable seasonal return help it function both as a focal point and as a structural accent within larger plant groupings.
