Asclepias tuberosa (Butterfly Weed)
This is a great Milkweed for a sunny location in a dry area. Butterfly Weed's vivid orange color, low mounded profile, and ability to attract and sustain butterflies make this plant a well-known favorite for all types of gardens.
Asclepias speciosa (Showy Milkweed)
Asclepias speciosa is similar to Common Milkweed, but its pinkish-purple flowers have longer petals that taper more and are covered with fine hairs.
Asclepias purpurascens (Purple Milkweed)
Purple Milkweed flowers will attract a variety of nectar seeking insects from the very small to large, Bumble Bees and, of course, Monarchs.
