Asclepias tuberosa 'Hello Yellow' (Butterfly Weed)

Asclepias tuberosa ‘Hello Yellow’

A bright and carefree perennial selection of the native Butterfly Weed, ‘Hello Yellow’ features clusters of golden-yellow blooms that last from early to late summer. Deadheading encourages a second round of flowers about a month after the first flush. Nectar-rich blossoms attract hummingbirds, Monarch butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Excellent for cutting—simply sear the stem ends to stop the milky sap. Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil.
