It is a showy plant with flat-topped clusters of orange and yellow flowers atop tall stems. The leaves are dark green and provide a great color contrast. Its' attraction to butterflies, particularly Monarchs, is the origin buy of its name. The female Monarchs lay their eggs on the plant and the resulting caterpillars feed from the plant until becoming butterflies. Because it also attracts pollinators, it is useful as well as beautiful.
