Welcome to Green Leaf Nursery

Butterfly Milkweed is a vibrant, hardy perennial known for its clusters of brilliant orange flowers. Unlike many other milkweeds, this variety lacks the milky sap but makes up for it with high nectar production and stunning visual appeal.

• Monarch Magnet: It is a vital host plant where Monarch butterflies lay their eggs and caterpillars feed.
• Drought Tolerant: Once established, its deep taproot helps it thrive in dry, sandy soils—perfect for Florida landscapes.

• Deer Resistant: While the butterflies love it, deer typically leave it alone.
