Mexican Butterfly Weed (Asclepius tuberosa)
Easy to grow, drought tolerant and attracts Monarch Butterflies too! Perfect!
It is commonly known as butterfly weed because of the butterflies that are attracted to the plant by its color and its copious production of nectar. It is also the larval food plant of the queen and monarch butterflies. Hummingbirds, bees and other insects are also attracted.
