Dormancy Notice: This plant, like many others, enters dormancy or semi-dormancy in the late fall through early spring. *THIS PLANT IS NOT DEAD. It is completely healthy but upon receiving the plant, you may notice it exhibits fewer leaves, discoloration, or complete leaf drop. This is normal and essential to the plant's health. In fact, planting during dormancy promotes root growth, giving your plant a better start for spring, when new foliage will begin to grow.

Additional Information

Hello Yellow Butterfly weed is a 2 feet tall herbaceous perennial that dies back in winter and re-sprouts from its underground tuber each spring. The brilliant yellow flower clusters appear in midsummer. These are followed by attractive green pods that open to release silky "parachutes" to drift away on autumn winds. Butterfly weed is unique among milkweeds in that the sap is not milky and the leaves are not opposite. Many flowers have an inner whorl of petals, called the corolla, and an outer whorl of sepals, called the calyx.

These are the showy, colorful parts of a typical flower. Hello Yollow Butterfly weed is a trouble-free perennial that will come up year after year in the same place without crowding its neighbors.
