Butterfly Weed is known for its vibrant orange summer flowers. This drought-tolerant perennial thrives in full sun and well-drained soils. It serves as a monarch host plant and attracts many pollinators. Its compact form works well in smaller garden spaces.
Our selection of native plants in 38-plug flats is available by pre-order only from March 1 to May 15, 2026, and will not be sold at the plant sale. Flats are provided by Midwest Groundcovers through their Natural Garden Natives line and feature pesticide-free, local-ecotype native plants.
