Blood Flower (Asclepias curassavica), also known as Tropical Milkweed or Mexican Butterfly Weed, is a vibrant perennial that produces brilliant clusters of red and orange flowers from spring through fall. Growing 2 to 4 feet tall, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, attracting monarch butterflies, bees, and other pollinators while serving as an important host plant for monarch caterpillars. Its long bloom season, drought tolerance once established, and outstanding ornamental appeal make it an excellent choice for pollinator gardens and naturalized landscapesCold stratification recommended:o Improve Germination:
