Water the area frequently after planting until plants become established. Detailed Instructions below. Also we recommend watching YouTube videos!
- Long blooming perennial pollinator attractor
- Heirloom variety with long lasting, white summer blooms
- Thrives in bright, sunny growing areas
- Monarch populations have been in decline for a number of years, and the loss of nectar sources and milkweeds has been indicated as a major contributor to these declines. This mixture is composed of native wildflowers, garden flowers and milkweeds which supply nectar sources for adult monarchs. Milkweeds are utilized for egg-laying and provide food to monarch caterpillars.
- Crisp blooms atop lush foliage are a sight to behold all on their own, but once they begin to attract bright and beautiful butterflies to your yard, we're sure that Milkweed will become an instant favorite!
- A long blooming perennial, it takes some time to establish Asclepias from seed, but the effort is well worth the reward
