Butterfly Milkweed


Butterfly Milkweed

Asclepious Tuberosa. A perennial plant I started from seed 3 years ago to help save the Monarch Butterfly. Not the easiest plant to start from seed, but look what you get if you stay with it. Once established, it will take care of itself. I don't consider this a weed in my garden. I wrote a little blog if you'd like to know more about this wonderful plant and its many benefits.
