Bloodflower is a South American Milkweed species that has naturalized widely throughout the southern United States. It bears beautiful heads of brilliant scarlet and vibrant orange flowers in clusters, and like its cousin, Butterfly Weed, is attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. It was introduced into European gardens by the late 1700s and Philadelphia nurseryman Bernard McMahon included it in the American Gardner's Calendar, 1806, as a greenhouse perennial.

Bloodflower prefers full sun and well-drained soil and grows 2 to 3 feet tall. It is hardy to Zones 8 through 10, but can be grown as a houseplant and will bloom almost continuously.
