Butterfly weed is a 3-4 ft tall herbaceous perennial that dies back in winter and re-sprouts from its underground tuber each spring. The brilliant orange or pink flower clusters appear in midsummer. These are followed by attractive green pods that open to release silky "parachutes" to drift away on autumn winds.

Butterfly weed is a trouble free perennial in zone 4-10 that will come up year after year in the same place without crowding its neighbors. It prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Tolerates drought.

Adult butterflies of many species sip nectar from the beautiful blossoms of butterfly weed.
