Asclepias tuberosa 'Hello Yellow' is a cultivated variety of Butterfly Milkweed known for its unique yellow flowers. This native perennial retains many of the characteristics of the original species while offering a vibrant twist. Its upright stems are adorned with clusters of bright yellow flowers that attract pollinators like butterflies and bees. Just like the standard Butterfly Milkweed, 'Hello Yellow' serves as a crucial host plant for Monarch butterfly larvae, supporting their lifecycle. Thriving in well-draining soil and full sun, it's drought-tolerant and adaptable. This cultivar's distinctive color and ecological significance make it an excellent addition to gardens, supporting pollinator conservation and adding a cheerful burst of yellow to landscapes. Zones 4-9 Germination To facilitate successful Asclepias tuberosa seed germination, begin by preparing the seeds through a process called stratification. Start by placing the seeds in a damp paper towel or a moist growing medium within a plastic bag, ensuring they are not saturated. Refrigerate this set up for approximately 30 days to mimic the winter conditions the seeds would naturally experience. After stratification, sow the seeds in a well-draining soil mix, covering them lightly with the soil. Ensure the planting medium stays consistently moist but not waterlogged. Place the planting container in a warm, sunny location, maintaining temperatures around 70-75°F (21-24°C). Germination typically occurs within 1-3 weeks under optimal conditions. Once seedlings have emerged, provide adequate light and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions before transplanting them into their permanent growing site, ensuring they receive ample sunlight and suitable soil conditions for their continued growth.
