Attract butterflies with this lovely selection of brightly-colored flowers during the summer months! Easy to grow, this drought-tolerant perennial will add beauty to any garden.

Butterfly Weed is a beautiful perennial that will grow to be about 24 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 24 inches. It tends to be leggy, with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground and should be underplanted with lower-growing perennials. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions, can be expected to live for approximately 10 years. As an herbaceous perennial, this plant will usually die back to the crown each winter and will regrow from the base each spring. Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen! This plant should only be grown in full sunlight. It is adaptable to dry and moist locations and should do just fine under typical garden conditions. It is considered to be drought-tolerant and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden.
