Butterfly Milkweed Seeds - Asclepias tuberosa

Open-Pollinated Non-GMO Neonicotinoid-Free Butterfly Milkweed Seeds One of the most striking of native plants, butterfly milkweed lights up gardens, meadows and prairies with its glowing aura of brilliant orange flowers. Native to the northeastern and southern United States, this herbaceous perennial is a host plant for the Monarch Butterfly. Milkweed is the sole plant for monarchs to lay their eggs and provide food for their larvae. Slow and hard to grow, this drought tolerant native may take up to 2 -3 years to flower. Once established, it requires minimal maintenance and will bring years of joy and wonder to your garden, flowering from June - August! Butterfly milkweed is an important source of nectar for many pollinators, including bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. By planting butterfly milkweed seeds, gardeners can help support local pollinator populations and promote biodiversity in their communities. We recommend planting only milkweed plant that is native to your area.  Each
