Description
Description
This vibrant plant, featuring striking orange (and often red/yellow) flowers, is a crucial host plant and nectar source for Monarch butterflies, making it a must-have for butterfly gardens. It's a tropical plant that thrives in warm climates like Florida. Easy to grow, it prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Note: In some regions, it's recommended to cut back Tropical Milkweed in the fall to encourage monarch migration and reduce the potential spread of OE parasites. Consider researching best practices for your specific area.
