Description: Blood Flower (Asclepias curassavica), also known as Tropical Milkweed or Mexican Butterfly Weed, is a vibrant perennial plant native to Central and South America, prized for its striking red and orange blooms. The flowers are arranged in small, showy clusters that provide a dramatic contrast against its glossy, lance-shaped green leaves. This plant is a magnet for pollinators, particularly monarch butterflies, serving as both a nectar source and a larval host plant. Growing 2-4 feet tall, the Blood Flower thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for borders, pollinator gardens, or naturalized landscapes. Blooming from spring to fall, it requires minimal maintenance and is drought-tolerant once established. Its bold colors, ecological value, and ease of growth make the Blood Flower a favorite among gardeners seeking to support pollinator populations while adding visual interest to their gardens.
