Milkweed 'Asclepias Tuberosa' | Butterflyweed

Reserve Your Milkweeds for June 21st In-store Pickup

Bring on the butterflies.

This isn’t just a plant—it’s a full-service pollinator stop. ‘Asclepias tuberosa,’ or Butterflyweed, is a native perennial that lights up your garden with fiery orange blooms and serves as a critical host plant for Monarch caterpillars. If you’ve ever wanted to be part of the butterfly life cycle, this is your invitation.

Today’s Drop? Big and bold.

We’ve sourced these in hefty 1-gallon pots—a substantial size that’s ready to take off the moment it hits your garden. Plant it once, and it’ll return year after year, stronger and showier.

Why we’re obsessed:

🌿 Native + drought-tolerant: Built for Georgia heat and humidity
🧡 Perennial power: Comes back bigger every season
☀️ Loves full sun: Thrives in bright, dry garden spaces
🐛 Monarch magnet: One of the few milkweeds essential to their life cycle
💪 Low-maintenance: Once established, it practically takes care of itself

What pairs perfectly with it:

These pollinator favorites all love the same sunny, well-drained conditions—so planting them together means less fuss, more flutter.

Echinacea ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ – Drought-tough with blooms that stand tall and draw bees all summer
Agastache ‘Poquito Orange’ – Shares the same appetite for heat and pollinators, with a citrus twist
Sparkle White Gaura ‘Whirling Butterflies’ – Light, airy, and just as sun-hungry as Butterfly weed
Lantana ‘Miss Huff’ or ‘Ham & Eggs’ – No strangers to dry soil and full sun—these bloom machines fill the space beautifully
