Asclepias Tuberosa 'Hello Yellow'
Herb Growing Tips
Light: Full Sun
Temperature: Herbaceous perennial hardy in Zones 4 to 10
Watering: Drought tolerant
Soil: Well drain soil is best but then again this plant is not picky and will grow is poor soil, too!
Comments: This easy to grow perennial that requires little attention but once planted it's best to keep it there. Due to deep taproots transplanting can be tough once it has established a home!
'Hello Yellow' is a wonderful addition to any garden. A cultivar of the native Asclepias, this plant has lovely golden yellow blooms that provide almost 3 months of color. Remember to deadhead after the first blooming to encourage more flowers.
An easy to grow native plant that will thrive in a hot and dry spot, butterfly weed will tolerate most garden soils. Asclepias is a wonderful addition to the fall garden ~ sunny yellow blooms of 'Hello Yellow' are perfect in a mixed border or left to go native in your meadow among the butterflies. An excellent food source for butterfly larvae, Asclepias are the best known North American Wildflowers.
We love to see this plant grown en mass - just a large swath of golden yellow blooms covered with butterflies is a sight to behold! You'll get long-lasting blooms followed by attractive seed pods in the fall, perfect for your dried arrangements.
Butterfly Weed
