A long-lived, low-maintenance perennial, this yellow flowering selection of our native A. tuberosa was discovered in Colorado and offers months of golden yellow blooms. Following flowering, green seed pods develop which rupture to reveal seeds with long, silvery-white, silky hairs great for dried flower arrangements.
Pollinators preferred Asclepias tuberosa ‘Hello Yellow’ selection equally to its native parent, which has orange flowers, according to new, unpublished research out of the University of Delaware.
