Description / Asclepias 'Hello Yellow' Milkweed

Brighten your garden with Asclepias 'Hello Yellow Milkweed,' a native perennial that grows 24 to 36 inches tall and blooms from summer into fall. The sunny yellow flowers are not only striking but also provide essential nectar for pollinators, like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Its narrow, lance-shaped leaves support monarch caterpillars, making this plant a vital addition to pollinator gardens. The seedpods that follow the blooms add charm to dried floral arrangements.

Part of the Asclepias tuberosa species, commonly called milkweed or butterfly weed, 'Hello Yellow' is a hardy perennial (Zones 4-9) with a compact, bushy habit. It's perfect for butterfly gardens, native plant beds, and even rock gardens or containers. Over time, it self-seeds, making it ideal for naturalizing and erosion control while adding a burst of color to borders and landscapes.

Resilient and easy to care for, 'Hello Yellow' milkweed thrives in full sun with dry to medium moist, well-draining soil. It tolerates poor soil and requires little maintenance once established. Deer and rabbit resistant, this plant is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for low-maintenance beauty.

Plant 'Hello Yellow' milkweed roots in spring, spacing them 12 to 18 inches apart and planting them 1½ to 2 inches deep. Once planted, they're best left undisturbed, as butterfly weed does not transplant well.

Native to prairies and grasslands across much of the U.S., 'Hello Yellow' milkweed is both stunning and sustainable. These eco-friendly plants require minimal resources, reduce the need for fertilizers and pesticides, and create a thriving habitat for pollinators and wildlife.

Sap may cause skin irritation.
