Asclepias tuberosa, commonly called Butterfly Milkweed, is a stunning perennial native to Ontario and Quebec that brightens gardens with its vivid orange, fragrant blooms. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, this hardy wildflower attracts Monarch butterflies and other pollinators, making it perfect for wildlife-friendly gardens. Slow to emerge in spring, it rewards patience with dazzling summer flowers that also work beautifully as cut blooms. Its ornamental seed pods are ideal for dried arrangements, while its low-maintenance foliage ensures a long-lasting, vibrant presence in perennial borders, meadows, and sunny garden beds.
