Apollo Orange

Native wildflower

Asclepias curassavica

Overview
Tall, vigorous plants do best in warm, relatively dry conditions. Vivid orange blooms with attractive, slender foliage. Best used for cut flowers. Asclepias curassavica is attractive to butterflies and pollinators but we recommend planting a native species for best supporting butterflies. Also known as milkweed, butterfly weed, blood flower, and sunset flower. Tender perennial in Zones 7-10.
Planting
Start indoors 6-8 weeks before last spring frost, or direct sow after all frost danger and soil has warmed to 60°F+. Scarify seeds and cold-stratify 24 hours before sowing for improved germination
Growing
Sun: full. Water: low. Soil: Well-draining loam or average garden soil; tolerates poor, dry soils. Space plants 12" apart. Germination: 7-10 days.
