Asclepias tuberosa 'Hello Yellow'
Butterfly Weed
'Hello Yellow' forms an upright clump of narrow green leaves, bearing showy clusters of golden-yellow flowers in mid to late summer. Green fruit will develop after flowering which break open to reveal seeds with the same long silvery-white, silky hairs as its cousin, the common milkweed. Requires well-drained slightly sandy and acidic soil.
