Asclepias Curassavica Mexican Milkweed / Butterfly Plant Pink / Orange Hardy to Zone 9

Tropical Milkweed features unusual scarlet flat-top recurved flowers with yellow eyes at the ends of the stems from early summer to late fall, which emerge from distinctive brick red flower buds. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its narrow leaves emerge burgundy in spring, turning green in color with curious grayish green undersides the rest of the year.

The perfect plant for attracting Monarch butterflies and hummingbirds; unusual and showy bicolored flowers with bright yellow centers and recurved red to orange petals; adapts well to most soil types; readily re-seeds; roots are hardier.
