Milkweed
Also known as a Butterfly Weed or Asclepias. This bushy plant was originally a wildflower but is now prized as a garden perennial also. The abundance of stiff, lance-shaped foliage provides a dark-green backdrop for the showy flower heads. The leaves are mostly alternate, 1.5- 2.25in long, pointed, and smooth on the edge. The large 2–5in, flat-topped clusters of bright-orange flowers sit on top of the flowering stem. The brilliant orange blooms light up meadows dramatically, and of course attract butterflies. Once established, is a tough, dependable color maker that creates delightful cut flowers.
