Asclepias tuberosa 🏵️

Of the native milkw**ds at our disposal, Asclepias tuberosa, also known as butterfly w**d, is a fan favorite!

Its charming orange flowers are impossible to miss; they can be found growing in several locations around Zoo grounds and gardens.

They are an extremely drought tolerant plant that grows well in a variety of soils… even clay as long as it isn’t too waterlogged.

Butterfly w**d is a larval host plant for the monarch butterfly, and with a mature height of only two feet, it’s an excellent addition to butterfly gardens of any size.

For more great plants that thrive in tough gardens, check out our upcoming Plants for Problem Spots Garden Tour at https://www.toledozoo.org/gardens
