Monarchs favor butterfly weed

Chicago Sun-Times | August 18, 2006| | Copyright

A showy native plant favored by naturalistic gardeners is the bright orange butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa). Often associated with dry meadows and prairies, it is an obvious choice for butterfly gardens. The monarch butterfly feeds on the nectar-rich flowers and lays her eggs on the foliage, which serves as food for the developing caterpillars. After the seed pods split open in fall, silky threads, each attached to a single seed, are released on the wind. Plant in full sun in dry, well-drained soil. Cultivars such as 'Gay Butterflies' include plants with yellow, red and orange flowers.
