Common Milkweed Wildflower Seeds

Milkweed is the only plant that provides food & home for Monarch butterfly babies - help the Monarchs by planting milkweed! Common Milkweed is an easy-to-grow, native, perennial milkweed that attracts and and feeds Monarchs. Pink/purple fragrant flowers give way to interesting pods that are filled with milkweed fluff and seeds. Milkweed fluff can be used for crafts and as a natural stuffing for pillows. Plant this milkweed in wild areas because it will spread too much for formal garden areas. Plants bloom June to August and can reach a height of 4 feet. This plant is adaptable and can grow in varying levels of sunlight and moisture. Once established, it spreads rapidly by rhizome roots that are nearly impossible to remove so plant it in a location where it is ok for it to spread!   Our seed is Midwest genotype.
