Soulmate Butterfly Flower: Frequently Asked Questions

Is Soulmate Butterfly Weed a perennial?

Not only will Soulmate Butterfly Flower come back year after year, it's incredibly hardy and easy to take care of. This perennial returns yearly, with increased blooms each season. Incredibly versatile and vigorous, this clumping plant is easy to divide if you want to spread the love throughout your garden. It's also quite easy to contain if you'd like to keep it small-just pull it up and divide annually or every two years, depending upon growth rate.

What is a good companion plant for soulmate butterfly flower?

This gorgeous butterfly flower works well with a variety of neighbors. Because it can grow in moist spaces, it pairs nicely with irises or cardinal flowers alongside a pond or stream. However, Soulmate Butterfly Flower also tolerates dry conditions, and can be paired with low-moisture-requirement, traditional native plants for a naturalized look. Rudbeckia and Agastache come to mind, along with bee balm, black-eyed Susan, and tall coreopsis. This plant's versatility means that there are few limits in your plans to incorporate sweet scent and bright color into the landscape.

Can asclepias soulmate plants be planted close together?

Asclepias plants should be planted 30 to 36 inches apart. Asclepias eventually matures to form clumps up to 36 inches across, so you can thin the plants as needed between clumps.
