Butterfly Flower Irresistible Blend Seed

Perennial. Butterflies and hummingbirds will flock to your garden to feast on the sweet nectar of this easy-to-grow native perennial. Often called Swamp Milkweed, this species grows best in moist or wet soils such as near a pond or stream, but the loosely-clumped plants will grow well in a garden with regular watering. Decorative pods are beautiful in dried arrangements.
