Common Milkweed Seeds (Asclepias syriaca)

Support the majestic Monarch butterfly and bring a burst of life to your native garden or meadow with our non-GMO Common Milkweed seeds! This native, perennial wildflower is a vital host plant for Monarch caterpillars and a magnet for a wide array of pollinators.

Asclepias syriaca is the sole food source for Monarch butterfly larvae, making it a critical addition to any conservation-focused garden or naturalized area.

Pollinator Paradise: The large, fragrant clusters of pink-to-lavender flowers bloom mid-to-late summer and are a rich nectar source for bees, hummingbirds, and other beneficial insects.

Easy to Grow & Low Maintenance: This robust native plant is one of the easiest milkweeds to establish, tolerating a variety of conditions including poor, dry, or clay soils once established. It is also naturally deer-resistant.

Visually Appealing: Growing 3 to 5 feet tall with an upright form and large oval leaves, Common Milkweed provides architectural interest and contrasts beautifully with other prairie grasses and wildflowers.

Versatile Use: Ideal for meadows, butterfly gardens, naturalized areas, and borders. The distinctive seed pods can also be used in dried arrangements and crafts.

Planting Tips:
For best results, cold stratification is recommended to improve germination rates. Refrigerate seeds for 30-60 days before planting. Sow in a full sun location.
