Yellow Milkweed, Asclepias tuberosa 6" Pot

Radiant Golden Blooms: Yellow Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa) showcases vibrant clusters of golden-yellow flowers, infusing your garden with the warmth of the sun. Attracts a diverse array of pollinators, including butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, fostering biodiversity and supporting local ecosystems. Yellow Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa) is native to a wide range of climates in North America and is generally hardy in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-9. However, it can be somewhat adaptable and may thrive in zones slightly outside of this range under the right conditions. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil, and while it can tolerate drought once established, it may struggle in consistently wet or poorly drained soils. Serves as a vital host plant for monarch butterflies, providing essential habitat and food sources for these iconic pollinators. Thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soil, making it perfect for borders, meadows, or xeriscapes.
