Asclepias curassavica | Blood Flower | 200-Seeds FREE SHIPPING
Here I am offering seeds from Asclepias curassavica, also known as bloodflower or blood flower, hierba de la cucaracha, redhead, scarlet milkweed, cotton bush, Mexican butterfly weed, Swallow wort, and wild ipecacuanha. This plant likes to grow in full sun and prefers a soil that is on the drier side. The birds, bees, and butterflies have a great time on this plant. It really causes quite a lot of attention. This plant is adored by the hummingbirds and they can not seem to get enough of this one. Many people grow this plant because it is also a favorite with the Tigers, Milkweeds, Monarchs, and Queens butterflies. This plant is a host plant for many butterflies in the Danaus Genus, such as chrysippus also known as the plain tiger or African monarch, plexippus which is our American Monarch, gilippus or the Queen, erippus or the southern Monarch, eresimus which is the soldier or tropical Queen, and finally cleophile or Jamaican monarch. Graduate student Dara Satterfield is making an educated guess that better availability of Asclepias curassavica in conjunction with warmer winters, may have an unhealthy impact on Monarch butterflies and their migration. The science to back up this idea will not be complete for a couple years, but just to be safe I cut mine to the ground for the Winter because if there is a problem this will solve it, and if there is not a problem then the plant will grow back next season. “This is a very sensitive subject in the Monarch world,” said Satterfield. “We just don’t have the data right now.”Another popular use for this plant is as a cut flower for its strong exotic appearance.

Plants grow to 30 inches tall and have clusters of dark orange to reddish flowers. Butterfly milkweed is very adaptable and non-aggressive, which makes it ideal for home garden use. Plants are host to monarch butterflies and provide nectar to many pollinators. *** ()*** MORE INFO: Name: Butterfly Milkweed Scientific Name: Asclepias tuberosa Color: Orange Hardiness Zones: 3-10 Plant Seeds: Outdoors After Frost / Indoors Weeks Before Last Frost Plant Height: 18″-30″ Plant Spacing: 18 – 36″ Cycle: Perennial Bloom Season – Summer Light Requirements: Full Sun, Partial Shade Soil & Water Preferences: Average Other: Attracts bees, birds, & butterflies, Species Type: Native Classification: Herbaceous Perennial Characteristics: A multi-stemmed flowering species that spreads from underground tubers. Habitat: Dry woods, abandoned fields, roadsides, shale barrens; grows best in well-drained soils. Bloom Period: June to August Flower Color: Orange, yellow, red Foliage Color: Green Height: Up to 2.9 Ft Minimum Root Depth: 16 in pH: 4.8 – 6.8 Pollinator Value: Very High Tolerances: Shade: Full Sun Drought: High Sowing: In late fall, direct sow butterfly milkweed seeds just below the surface. Germination will take place in the spring, after the last frost. When the seedlings appear, thin to the strongest plant; seedlings usually do not survive transplanting, since they resent any disturbance of their roots. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and refrigerate for 30 days before direct sowing. Growing: Young plants should be watered until they become established; mature plants can tolerate drought, and the roots will be damaged by excessively wet soil. This plant grows slowly, and it may take 2-3 years to produce flowers. Though not invasive, this plant will eventually spread if left to drop its seed. The flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Deer avoid this plant. If aphids become a problem, dislodge them from the plant with a strong stream of water. Harvesting: This makes a striking cut flower. Because the stems contain no milky sap, these flowers tend to have a longer vase life than most milkweed varieties. Cut the stems long, choosing flowers that have just opened. Max shipping fee is $3.95.
