Mature butterflies feed on the nectar produced in the flowers, while the foliage provides food for their larvae. The brilliant orange and yellow flowers are showy in massed plantings and fascinating up close, with their intricate detail. The three-foot plant is native throughout the eastern and southern regions of the country, usually preferring drier sites, and should be hardy except at very high elevations. Very durable and long-lived once established, it may gently increase on its own in favorable locations.  \u003cstrong\u003eCAUTION: The milky sap is poisonous if ingested in large quantities, and contact with the skin may cause dermatitis in sensitive individuals.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be started indoors 6-8 weeks ahead of last frost, or direct sown outdoors. \u003cstrong\u003eATTENTION: The milky sap is poisonous if ingested in large quantities; contact with the skin may cause dermatitis in sensitive individuals.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59511183114526,"sku":"HB228","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/2280\/5022\/files\/milkweed_butterfly_weed.jpg?v=1782398027","url":"https:\/\/www.rareseeds.com\/products\/milkweed-butterfly-weed","provider":"RareSeeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
