Butterfly weed is a perennial herb with hairy stems, velvety leaves, and showy flowers that range from yellow to orange to red. Milkweeds, like butterfly weed, are the only plants where monarch butterflies will lay their eggs and monarch larvae will feed. Butterfly weed roots were used extensively in ethnobotanical practices and was even listed in the U.S Pharmacopoeia from 1820 to 1905.
