Product Details
✓Appearance: This bushy perennial features vibrant orange (sometimes yellow or red-orange) flowers in large, flat-topped clusters atop hairy stems, with narrow, lance-shaped green leaves and no milky sap unlike other milkweeds.
✓Height and Growth: It typically grows 1-3 feet tall in upright clumps, forming a low, mounded profile from a deep tuberous root system that makes it drought-tolerant once established.
✓Habitat and Conditions: Native to eastern and southern North America, it thrives in dry to medium, well-drained soils such as sand, loam, or rocky areas, preferring full sun and tolerating poor, dry conditions exceptionally well.
✓Pollinator Benefits: A favorite for butterflies, it serves as a larval host plant for monarch caterpillars and provides abundant nectar for adult butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators.
✓Quality: All seeds packaged by Seed Needs are intended for the current and the following growing seasons. All seeds are stored in a temperature controlled facility that is free of significant amounts of moisture.
✓Quantity: Seed Needs offers generous quantities. You can share with friends and family, or you can save the extra seeds until the following season, if properly stored.
