Asclepias tuberosa 'Hello Yellow'
Choose Hello Yellow Butterfly Weed for a sunny pollinator bed where monarch value matters; the tradeoff is that it wants open, well-drained conditions and will not give you formal structure.
Buy This If
You want monarch host value.
Your site is sunny and open.
You prefer yellow over orange.
Skip This If
The bed stays wet.
You want orange flowers.
You want instant fullness.

Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The yellow flower clusters read clearly in a sunny border without taking over the planting.

It can build quickly once settled, but young plants still need time to fill out.
Maintenance

Care is simple in the right site, but poor drainage and crowding can cause problems.
Deer Resistance
B+
Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit

Its compact clumping habit fits well into smaller sunny beds and border fronts.
Our Experience

Why Choose Perennials for Your Garden?
Return Year After Year: Perennials come back each season, reducing replanting costs while increasing garden maturity
Extended Seasonal Interest: With proper selection, you can enjoy continuous blooms from spring through fall.
Low Long-Term Maintenance: Once established, many perennials require minimal upkeep and become more resilient over time.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
