'Red Butterfly' Milkweed (Asclepias)

Red Butterfly Milkweed is a vibrant, tropical milkweed known for its brilliant clusters of red flowers accented by warm orange centers. Blooming continuously in warm conditions, this long-flowering plant is a magnet for butterflies and other pollinators while also serving as a host plant for monarch caterpillars. Its upright growth habit and narrow green foliage create a striking presence in sunny garden beds, borders, and containers. Red Butterfly Milkweed thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and tolerates heat well. This colorful milkweed is an excellent choice for adding bold color and supporting pollinator activity throughout the growing season.
