Description
Asclepias tuberosa, also known as Butterfly Milkweed, Butterfly Weed, and
Pleurisy Root. Unlike many of the other milkweeds, this one prefers a dryer
soil and must be planted in full sun. Another major difference between this
plant and other milkweed is that this one does not have a milky sap. The

attracts all kinds of wildlife, bringing in several different birds, bees, and
butterflies. The hummingbirds are especially interested in this plant. This
Plant is a Host Plant for the Monarch and the Queen butterflies. In places

temperatures, your milkweed seed is unlikely to sprout.
