Butterfly Weed for Clay can be grown in clay soils where the common strain of Asclepias tuberosa struggles. Recommended for planting only on upland sites, as it will not do well in poorly drained soils. The long-lasting and bright orange flowers along with its low mounded profile make this the most popular of milkweeds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrue to its name, Butterfly Weed attracts legions of butterflies and is an important larval host for both the Monarch and Queen butterflies. A favorite prairie plant for all types of gardens, mature plants in an ideal location can become gorgeous specimens, with multiple flowering stems spreading across a 2' high plant. Older mature plants have a deep tap root that extends down a foot or more. They can be transplanted if dug carefully during dormancy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach packet contains about 2 dozen seeds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest planted in fall. Or, for spring planting, mix seed with a starting medium. Place mixture in a plastic bag in refrigerator for 30 days. Check periodically to make sure the medium is not drying out. Plant immediately if the seeds begin to sprout. Blooms second year.\n        \u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tradejoy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53946466271600,"sku":"5ED8UKR","price":1.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/9331\/0832\/files\/il_fullxfull.6427775018_f66g.jpg?v=1782443285","url":"https:\/\/tradejoyllc.com\/products\/butterfly-milkweed-seeds-for-clay-asclepias-tuberosa-var-clay","provider":"Tradejoy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
