Description
L'Asclepias tuberosa, communément appelée asclépiade tubéreuse, est une espèce d'asclépiade originaire de l'est et du sud-ouest de l'Amérique du Nord. Elle est communément appelée asclépiade tubéreuse en raison des papillons qui sont attirés par la plante en raison de sa couleur et de sa production abondante de nectar.
