AN137 SILKY DEEP RED BUTTERFLY WEED SEEDS
A tropical butterfly weed which grows to 3-feet tall and 1-foot wide. It produces electric
red and orange, umbel type flower heads from summer right up until frost. Don't confuse
this with the common butterfly weed, which is not nearly as showy. An excellent choice for
accents and background plantings. And yes, of course--it is the King of all the plants if
you happen to be a butterfly. Packet is 50 seeds.
AN140 SILKY GOLD BUTTERFLY WEED SEEDS
Brilliant luminous golden-yellow
blooms are produced in large umbels all summer right up until frost. Butterflies
are crazy about them. Grows to 3 feet tall and is a choice plant
for background plantings. Packet is 50 seeds.
