    Native to the Eastern and Southern parts of the US, Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa) is a showy and easy-going perennial that no garden should be without. The butterflies that flock to the fabulous clusters of nectar-filled, hot-orange blooms add to the fantastic summer show you'll get from this proudly American plant. Mass them for an unbeatable display or dot them around in your prairie-style garden meadow of flowers as an accent. Try picking the stems with their interesting seed pods as a creative addition to dried flower arrangements. You don't need to give these beauties any special care - they tolerate everything from drought and poor soil to chilly winters.

    Shipping Methods

    Orders will be shipped via FedEx Home Delivery.

    Orders are generally in route for 2-5 business days (depending on where you live).

    We are sticklers about packaging and shipping your order in a way that guarantees healthy plants upon arrival. If plants are damaged on arrival, just let us know and we'll send you new ones or offer a full refund.

    All of our plants are container grown and shipped with the soil and roots fully intact. We DO NOT ship your plants bare-root. Being shipped as a containered plant greatly reduces the risk of the plant not surviving the transit to your home.
