2017 Perennial Plant of the Year - Butterfly Milkweed

Category: Business

If ever a plant deserved to be hailed as plant of the year, it is the Butterfly Milkweed. You may know it as butterfly weed, milkweed, or Asclepias tuberose. Suppose you get out of the city during June and July. In that case, you've seen these little perennial plants flowering in neighborhood gardens, commercial landscapes trying to go natural, welcome centers, arboretums, and even along the roadsides where they grow wild.
