Description

Asclepias Butterfly Weed Bareroot | Hello Yellow

Quite literally the opposite of mellow yellow, this low-maintenance Butterfly Weed is a prized perennial characterized by blazing yellow flower clusters. Much to the delight of butterflies and bees, the sunny blossoms are produced from early summer through early fall. Plus, you can encourage even more carefree flowers by cutting back the spent blooms!

Fun Fact: Asclepias are the only plants that Monarch butterflies will lay their eggs on and are critical to their survival. When you grow a Butterfly Weed or Milkweed, you're actually supporting this spectacular species! Allow Monarch caterpillars to eat the plant and develop into butterflies.

Note: The sap is considered mildly toxic to curious pets if ingested. Plant with caution.

Asclepias Butterfly Weed plants

Some sprouted, some did not. Somewhat disappointed. The first shipment I received, ALL grew. The latest shipment only half of them sprouted. Planted in same area.

Butterfly Bush

It seemed to be a little slow to get started but it finally is growing. I believe weather slowed it down. I remember the the same thing with my orange butterfly bush was pretty this year

Quality rhizomes

I was pleased to see how large the tubers/rhizomes were for these butterfly weeds. After only a few days in the ground, many have leaves up and some are a few inches high.

Grows Fast

I ordered these a month late because the first ones I ordered, from another company, were stolen from my mailbox. The butterfly weed root started spouting within a few days. It is in a sunny spot and appears to be doing just fine.

Very slow growing and still no blooms. Finally bloomed. Did not come back this spring.
