Milkweed Seed Sampler
Plant milkweed seeds to keep butterflies visiting!
Milkweed plants, members of the Asclepias family, are the
only host plant for the monarch and queen butterflies. The adult females
seek out these plants on which they lay their eggs. The caterpillars
that hatch will remain on the plants and eat the leaves until they enter
the pupal stage, then emerge as adult butterflies. Watch every stage of
the butterfly life cycle in your garden.
Many species of butterflies visit milkweed plants in bloom, attracted by
their nectar. Help provide habitats for the monarch and other
butterflies by planting milkweed!
Sampler includes four types of milkweed seed, in individual packages. We purchase all of our milkweed seeds on a regular basis from reputable suppliers. Seed should be viable for a year after purchase if stored in cool, dry location.
Seeds can be either planted directly into the garden or started early indoors. Sampler includes approximately 40+ seeds of each variety.
All four species are hardy perennials that need a period of cold treatment (instructions included on package) before planting.
As with any perennial, the best display is in the second year and after. Perennial plants are usually small the first year they are started from seed, and though some will bloom if begun early in the season, they will bloom more abundantly in following years. Native milkweed plants are very hardy once established. Because of their long taproot, they can be difficult to transplant from one area of the garden to another.
Instructions are included on each package.
Clockwise from top left:
- Asclepias syriaca, 'Common Milkweed', a native of North America, hardy perennial, grows to 3-4', mauve/purple blooms with a wonderful fragrance. This milkweed produces very large, oval leaves.
- Asclepias tuberosa, 'Butterfly Weed', a bright orange flowered milkweed. Grows to about 3', and is also a fast grower, native hardy perennial. Leaves on this plant are more narrow and slender, and are fuzzy. Pinching back new growth early in the season will produce a more bushy form.
- Asclepias speciosa, 'Showy Milkweed', a native hardy perennial milkweed which grows to about 3-4', produces large oval leaves.
- Asclepias incarnata, 'Swamp Milkweed', a native North American hardy perennial. Grows to 3-4', rosy red blooms, may bloom the first year from seed if started very early indoors before transplanting to the garden after danger of frost is past. Leaves are slender and narrow.
