A tuberous-rooted perennial with narrow foliage, milkweed is an upright and vigorous plant that gets its name from attracting butterflies! Great for cut flower arrangements. Plant Butterfly Weed seeds along wood side edges as an attractant for butterflies. Mulch lightly to protect from severe winters.
