Butterfly Magnet

Scarlet milkweed is an erect, evergreen perennial subshrub, often grown as an annual. Like most milkweeds, it has opposite leaves and milky sap.

It gets 3-4 ft. tall ,the flowers are clusters of orange and red.

It blooms continuously until fall, it has spindle shaped seed pods, 3-4 in long, that eventually split open to release little flat seeds that drift away on silky parachutes.

Hardy in zones 8-11

Grown as annual in all other zones.

Blooms first year from seed.

allowed to reseed they will come back..I had some volunteers this year. YAY!!

All milkweeds are poisonous if ingested, and the milky sap is a skin irritant.

I could really use these, as I want to teach my kids about the importance of ecology and the use of proper gardening, where the right balance of insects are nessicary in keeping balance, and providing new blossoms every year.
