The Story
Native Butterfly Weed attracts flocks of Monarchs and other beneficial pollinators like a magnet. It's very dark green, linear leaves and a low, mounded form make this plant ideal in front of taller plants. July brings masses of fragrant, bright orange bloom clusters that last for weeks. Not fussy as long you give it plenty of sun and soil that doesn't stay wet after a soaking rain. Deer resistant, and drought tolerant once established.
