Butterfly Milkweed ‘Hello Yellow’

Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa 'Hello Yellow') is a pollinator magnet that thrives on neglect. Its bright yellow blooms light up the garden in mid-summer and attract a lively crowd of butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. Monarch butterflies, in particular, rely on milkweed species, like this one, for survival; making it as ecologically important as it is beautiful.

Unlike many ornamental perennials, this cultivar doesn’t demand much water or fuss once established. It’s deer-resistant, hardy through cold winters, and happy in hot, dry conditions where other plants struggle. Perfect for sunny borders, native gardens, or xeriscape plantings.
