Environment This plant tolerates drought.
This plant will grow in dry to moist soil.
Suitable soil is well-drained/loamy or sandy.
The pH preference is a neutral soil.

Leaf Color Green, pink and purple
Fall Color Red
This plant has attractive foliage and attractive fall colors.

Culture Notes In general, Sedums are tough, low-maintenance plants that are able to grow in just about any place and in any type of soil. Because of their soft, fleshy foliage, however, they are easily crushed with excessive foot traffic. Self propagation is just as common as the established forms of propagation (stem cuttings, seeds and division of plants), and can take place any time of the year. In the spring, cut back to basal foliage and remove dead foliage. The burgundy-red foliage of 'Mohrchen' is toothed and turns deep red in early autumn. If grown in part shade in hot climates, this sedum may require support.

Deciduous Perennial Of The Day

Asclepias tuberosa 'Hello Yellow'

Butterfly Weed, Indian Paintbrush

Type Perennial

Hardy range 4A to 8A

Height 18" to 24" / 45cm to 60cm

Spread 12" to 24" / 30cm to 60cm

Growth rate Average

Form Upright or erect

Exposure Full sun

Persistence Deciduous

Bloom Color Yellow

Bloom Time Summer and Fall

The flowers are showy, suitable for cut flowers and suitable for dried flowers.

Environment This plant tolerates some drought and a little salt.
This plant will grow in dry to moist soil.
Suitable soil is well-drained/loamy, sandy or clay.
The pH preference is an acidic to neutral (less than 6.8 to 7.2) soil.

Leaf Color Green
This plant has attractive foliage.

Culture Notes Seeds will be dispersed in the late summer or early fall, and offsets will emerge in the fall at the base of the mother plant. Asclepias has a large taproot, making it difficult to transplant, and exudes a milky sap. This plant is so late to break dormancy in the spring, one might wonder if it made it through the winter. Plants serve provide nectar for butterflies and are hosts for butterfly larvae. Plant with Solidago, Heliopsis, Helianthus and Penstemon. 'Hello Yellow' tolerates dryness better than most Asclepias plants.
