Planting and Growing Information

Asclepias Tuberosa thrives in USDA zones 4-9, adapting to a wide range of growing conditions across the United States. Plant these bare root specimens in spring in well-drained, even gravelly soil in full sun locations. While slow to establish in the first year, butterfly weed develops a deep taproot that makes it exceptionally drought-resistant once established. Expect magnificent blooms from mid-summer through early fall, with mature plants forming impressive clumps that return reliably year after year.
