Gay Butterflies Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa 'Gay Butterflies'), sometimes called Orange Milkweed, brings a spectacular mix of yellow, orange, and red blooms to your garden, creating a multicolored display that outshines the traditional orange butterfly weed. This compact selection of native milkweed grows just 1-2 feet tall, making it ideal for the front of borders, container gardens, and smaller spaces where you want maximum pollinator impact without the height. Monarchs, swallowtails, and hummingbirds treat these nectar-rich flowers like an all-you-can-eat buffet from early summer through late summer.

The timing couldn't be better to add Gay Butterflies to your garden. With monarchs proposed for threatened species listing and 2025 designated the Year of the Asclepias by the National Garden Bureau, planting native milkweed has never been more important for butterfly conservation. Eastern monarch populations nearly doubled in 2025, showing that individual gardeners can make a real difference by providing critical habitat.

A Compact Pollinator Powerhouse

The cheerful flower clusters appear in warm shades that shift and blend across the yellow-orange-red spectrum, with individual plants displaying unique color combinations. Each flat-topped flower cluster contains dozens of tiny blooms that provide easy landing pads for butterflies and beneficial insects. Unlike taller selections, Gay Butterflies maintains a tidy, compact habit that works beautifully in mixed borders, pollinator gardens, rock gardens, and even large containers. The narrow green leaves create an unassuming backdrop that lets the brilliant flowers take center stage.

Supporting Butterfly Populations

Gay Butterflies serves double duty as a monarch butterfly host plant. Adult monarchs, swallowtails, and painted ladies visit for nectar, while monarch caterpillars depend on the foliage as their exclusive food source. Planting native milkweed species like this one directly supports declining monarch populations by providing critical habitat throughout their lifecycle. The compact size makes it easy to include multiple plants in borders and pollinator gardens, increasing the food supply for both caterpillars and adult butterflies.

Tough, Reliable, and Long-Lived

Once established, this native North American wildflower thrives on neglect. The deep taproot allows Gay Butterflies to access moisture far below the soil surface, making it remarkably drought tolerant and eliminating the need for summer watering in most climates. Deer and rabbits avoid the milky sap, so your plants remain untouched even in areas with heavy browsing pressure. The taproot also makes this native perennial incredibly long-lived, with plants persisting for decades in the same spot. Be patient in spring as butterfly weed emerges later than most perennials, typically not showing growth until soil temperatures warm in mid to late spring.

Design Ideas and Landscape Uses

The compact stature of Gay Butterflies makes it versatile in pollinator gardens and native plant landscapes. Plant it along walkways where you can watch butterflies up close, mass it in drifts for bold color impact, or combine it with other native perennials like purple coneflower, black-eyed Susan, and little bluestem for a naturalistic meadow effect. The warm flower colors pair beautifully with purple salvias, blue Russian sage, and yellow coreopsis. In containers, combine Gay Butterflies with trailing plants like creeping zinnia for a pollinator-friendly patio display. After flowering, the ornamental seed pods split open to release silky seeds, adding late-season interest and feeding goldfinches through fall.

Excelentt

This product is really good, I researched it because it is the closest to human skin, and that was what it did help me repair my skin that was injured after an allergy of more than two months. I felt that I had lost the elasticity and shape of my skin, this fat stuck to me and made me feel safe again.

Will repurchase
Style: Deep Moisturizing, Size: 1.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
At 56 years old my skin is pretty dry but this was still a little to heavy for a face cream-- but usable in a pinch. What it is PERFECT for is for your hands before you go to sleep at night. You know you're going to touch your face and pillow during the night so heavily fragranced creams aren't good at all. This is thick enough to make your hands and cuticles feel great but gentle enough not to cause problems if transferred onto your face.

Soft and Smooth!
Style: Deep Moisturizing, Size: 1.76 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This product feels fantastic when you put it on. A little goes a very long way so you get a lot for your money. It does work great after just lightly drying your face. There isn’t much of a smell, which I prefer. I have very sensitive skin and this is so soothing to use. I’m also in my late 40’s so the soft, plump and smooth look achieved after using this is so nice. If it makes your skin greasy at all you are using too much.

Buy!! Worked well for my eczema
Love love love this product!! It’s AMAZING for my winter skin. The consistency is thick enough to deeply moisturize and keep my skin hydrated all day long. It made my skin super clear, smooth, and healthy-looking. It also really helped clear up my eczema, especially the eczema and dry patches on my face. My dry spots became so much smoother and less irritated after using this consistently. The jar lasted me a good while, which I loved since I use moisturizer constantly. There’s no fragrance, the application is super easy, and the consistency feels sooo nice on the skin. It absorbs really well and leaves my skin feeling soft and glowy. It honestly worked so well that I didn’t even need to use primer before my makeup anymore 😭 that’s how good this product is!! I will always repurchase, especially during the winter 💕
