If you want nonstop butterfly activity with bold, fiery color—this is your plant.
Butterfly Weed is a native milkweed known for its glowing orange blooms and incredible pollinator power. Unlike other milkweeds, this one thrives in drier soils while still supporting Monarchs and a wide range of beneficial insects.
This isn’t just a pop of color… it’s a magnet for life.
🐛 Monarch caterpillars rely on it to grow. 🦋 Butterflies flock to its nectar-rich blooms. 🌿 Bright color, real impact.
Don’t forget to look for this one this year in the Fiddleheads Butterfly House.
