	Asclepias tuberosa Code: AT04-H Price: $1.40 Quantity in Basket: none
	'Butterfly-Weed' or 'Pleurisy Root' or 'Orange milkweed' or 'Butterfly milkweed' or 'Butterfly Weed' (ass-KLE-pee-us: too-BER-ohh-suh) Asclepiadaceae. Plants with deep tap roots producing bright orange flowers in summer. Loved by the Monarch Butterfly. Full sun to light shade, dry to moist soils, Does well even in very sandy soils, takes heat and drought very well. Plants are very late to brake their dormancy in the spring so be careful not to plant a new plant in its spot or cut the top off the root when working the soil. Flowers the second year from seeding or if started early will bloom a little the first year. The flower color is a very unique bright orange and makes a very showy display. Once plants are established, they will live many years and can be difficult to remove. I had one plant that was dug out of the ground three years in a row. The tap root can go down a few feet and when digging up the plant it is not always possible to get all the roots. This being the case the plants can grow back from the left over roots. But do not worry - plants are never weedy and stay were they are planted. I find them very appealing if planted with a shady back ground were the flower color then stands out starkly or mixed in with tall upright growing plants. A combination I enjoyed very much was a odd paring with Iris pseudacorus. Zones 3-9. This species is native to Central and Eastern United States.
