Red Butterfly Milkweed-Pesticide Free!

This milkweed has striking orange-scarlet flowers and attracts a variety of pollinators, especially the Monarch butterflies. Milkweed thrives in full sun and is a perennial. Red butterfly milkweed will grow approximately 24-36 inches tall and 12 inches wide, but keep in mind that this will be food for the caterpillars and they will probably never let it get to maximum height!

***It is recommended to prune the tropical milkweed stalks to about 6 inches in height during the fall and winter months to discourage monarchs from breeding and especially to help eliminate OE spores that may be present on the foliage of the plant.***
