Asclepias tuberosa
Asclepias tuberosa
Common Name: butterfly milkweed

A tough, drought-tolerant native with intense orange flowers in mid to late summer. Attracts many varieties of butterflies and is especially attractive to Monarchs. A beautiful solution for a dry sunny slope! Occurs in dry fields and roadsides in most of the US.

Height: 18-24 Inches
Spread: 24 Inches
USDA Hardiness Zone: 3-9

Coreopsis Permathread™ 'Red Satin'
Coreopsis Permathread™ 'Red Satin'
Common Name: threadleaf tickseed

A superior selection for its sturdy upright stems, fine threadleaf foliage and deep wine-red flowers that do not become “frosted” in the heat. Sterile flowers bloom all summer; cutting back will encourage rebloom until frost. Beautiful in the perennial garden or as a special accent. A selection from Darrell Probst that is not to be overlooked!

Height: 15-18 Inches
Spread: 18-22 Inches
