How to Plant BUTTERFLY WEED Seeds
(Coming Soon)
Comments: Full sun. Asclepias incarnata (Milkmaid and Soulmate) thrive in moist, even wet soils, will adapt to average garden watering with ease. Asclepias tuberosa (Butterfly Weed and Gay Butterflies) tolerate heat and drought, require only occasional water once established, will happily accept average moisture with good drainage. All our Asclepias attract butterflies, bees, hummingbirds, and resist deer and rabbits. They are important nectar sources for a wide range of butterflies, most notably the Monarch. To promote Monarch butterfly caterpillars, Asclepias incarnata is the host most preferred by these magnificent butterflies.
