I LOVE my Butterfly weed. I planted two bare roots and they came up in no time. They're thriving and one has flowers. I'm VERY satisfied with them and they weren't expensive either. I'm looking forward to more butterflies!

The butterfly weed (2) I grew last year really took off and grew well. Unfortunately aphids killed mine late in the season. I tried controlling them but wasn't successful. I'm trying again this year though because they (not the aphids, lol) really were healthy and bloomed well initially. I hope to have better luck this year.

My favorite flowers of all time are butterfly weed in blue and orange. They sent me top quality roots. My problem is the squirrels. I have to see how many escape these monsters. If they make it they are just about the most beautiful summer flowers in existence. Squirrels destroyed the one I bought two years ago and made a dent in these. I bout a lot so waiting to see

The butterfly weed is growing nicely, but it is not orange. It is a pale pink color, which is disappointing. But the bees and butterflies like them, so as long as they're happy, I'm okay. I was really looking forward to the contrast of the orange against our purple clematis, though.

Ordered on Saturday June 10, when butterflyweed was on clearance. To my delight the root which arrived Weds June 14 is in great shape, not dehydrated, packed in a sachet of very slightly damp potting mix, and very much alive. About 7 inches long, and just starting to come out of dormancy. Kudos to HBF for knowing how to store their plants. It's in the ground now and I'll post updates if the website lets me.
