Description
Butterfly Weed is a native perennial that brings vibrant color and pollinator power to Massachusetts gardens. Clusters of fragrant orange and golden blooms rise above green, narrow foliage from summer into early fall, making it a magnet for butterflies and other beneficial insects. It’s a standout in borders, naturalized plantings, or wildflower gardens.
Tough and drought tolerant once established, Butterfly Weed thrives in sunny spots and requires little care beyond spring cleanup. Its deer resistance and long bloom time make it an excellent choice for low-maintenance pollinator gardens throughout New England.
