The Blood Flower isn't a deadly plant but instead, it's a beautiful variety of milkweed. Blood Flowers are prized for its stunning orange, yellow, and red flowers. Medium-green lance-shaped leaves are arranged oppositely and topped with showy flower clusters in late spring into autumn. They're a perfect choice for tropical and butterfly gardens, though recent research shows that it may have some adverse impact on Monarch butterflies. Just a reminder that Blood Flowers contain a toxic milky sap containing cardiac glycosides that can be poisonous to humans and animals when ingested.
