Root
Often planted in garden borders or meadows, butterfly weed is made up of many individual flowers that each have five petals pointing down. They have many tall straight stems with simple leaves. The lovely orange-red blooms are a favorite of butterflies, of course, but they’ll also attract bees and hummingbirds. The plant’s fibers have long been used in textiles and the roots are thought to have medicinal uses.
