Outsidepride Butterfly Weed Carmine-rose - 500 Seeds
This cousin of Butterfly Weed blooms the first year and tolerates heat, humidity, and even drought! Asclepias is fragrant, colorful, and carefree! A magnet for butterflies, Cinderella is one of the easiest, most adaptable plants you will ever grow. Just toss the seeds into the garden and stand back! Vanilla-scented flowerheads 2 inches across arise among the long, lush leaves all summer long and even in to early fall depending on the weather, crowding atop very free-blooming plants 2 to 4 feet high and 2 feet wide. Every sunny garden deserves this trouble-free, long-blooming perennial! If you can bear to cut them, the blooms are long-lasting in fresh and dried bouquets. This native American plant loves full sun and thrives in heat, humidity, and even drought--yet is also quite winter-hardy and permanent. All it asks is well-drained soil (moist or damp soils are just fine!) and plenty of sun. Asclepias Cinderella is a gift your garden will treasure for years. Its heavy nectar production attracts all kinds of good bugs to the garden (the kind that feast on destructive predators!), and the fragrance is delightful. Best of all, this perennial is very low maintenance.
